Odenville city, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Odenville city is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 5,015 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #121 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Odenville city earn a median of $70,815 a year, 9.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% above the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Odenville city is valued at $220,900, 27.2% below the national figure and 40% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,265 a month, 10% below the national figure, or roughly $15,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.6% 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.
