Ozark city, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ozark city is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 14,348 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 41.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Ozark city earn a median of $46,951 a year, 40.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 25.6% 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 Ozark city is valued at $138,600, 54.3% below the national figure and 12% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $773 a month, 45% below the national figure, or roughly $9,276 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.3% 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.
