Riverview town, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Riverview town is a very small community in Alabama, with 249 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #490 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 37.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Riverview town earn a median of $37,404 a year, 52.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 35.3% 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 Riverview town is valued at $120,500, 60.3% below the national figure and 24% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.5% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 249 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Riverview town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Riverview town 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.
