Saks CDP, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Saks CDP is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 10,727 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #64 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 39.9 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 Saks CDP earn a median of $50,529 a year, 35.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Saks CDP is valued at $113,400, 62.6% below the national figure and 28% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $898 a month, 36.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,776 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 2.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 73.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
