Prattville city, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Prattville city is a small city in Alabama, with 38,850 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #12 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 38 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 Prattville city earn a median of $79,396 a year, 1.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% above 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 9.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Prattville city is valued at $208,500, 31.3% below the national figure and 32% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,250 a month, 11.1% below the national figure, or roughly $15,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
