Shiloh town, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Shiloh town is a very small community in Alabama, with 456 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #434 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 44.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Shiloh town earn a median of $58,036 a year, 26.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above 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 23.5% 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 Shiloh town is valued at $87,500, 71.2% below the national figure and 45% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.5×, 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. 69.7% 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.
With 456 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Shiloh town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Shiloh 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.
