Robertsdale city, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Robertsdale city is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 6,985 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #94 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 39.4 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 Robertsdale city earn a median of $55,707 a year, 29.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Robertsdale city is valued at $198,200, 34.7% below the national figure and 25% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $997 a month, 29.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
