Satsuma, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Satsuma city is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 6,784 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #98 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 42.6 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 Satsuma city earn a median of $97,550 a year, 24.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 75% above 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 5.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Satsuma city is valued at $199,800, 34.1% below the national figure and 26% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,224 a month, 12.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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×, 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. 84.7% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
