Rock Mills, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Rock Mills CDP is a very small community in Alabama, with 437 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #437 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 45.9 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 Rock Mills CDP earn a median of $19,583 a year, 75.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 65% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 24.9% 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 Rock Mills CDP is valued at $73,800, 75.7% below the national figure and 53% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76% 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.

With 437 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Rock Mills CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Rock Mills 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.
