Perdido CDP, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Perdido CDP is a very small community in Alabama, with 515 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #422 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 48.4 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 Perdido CDP earn a median of $36,983 a year, 52.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% 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 8.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Perdido CDP is valued at $214,800, 29.2% below the national figure and 36% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 86.9% 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.

With 515 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Perdido CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Perdido CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
