Nauvoo, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Nauvoo town is a very small community in Alabama, with 233 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #499 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 34 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Nauvoo town earn a median of $46,000 a year, 41.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 17.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nauvoo town is valued at $72,900, 76% below the national figure and 54% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $917 a month, 34.8% below the national figure, or roughly $11,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 85.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
