Orrville, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Orrville town is a very small community in Alabama, with 120 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #546 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 50.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Orrville town earn a median of $24,531 a year, 68.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 56% below 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 19.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orrville town is valued at $105,000, 65.4% below the national figure and 34% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $666 a month, 52.6% below the national figure, or roughly $7,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 32.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 45.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 50.5 puts Orrville town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 120 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Orrville town against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
