Silverhill town, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Silverhill town is a very small community in Alabama, with 929 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #330 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 35.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Silverhill town earn a median of $61,081 a year, 22.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above 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 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silverhill town is valued at $260,500, 14.1% below the national figure and 65% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,208 a month, 14.1% below the national figure, or roughly $14,496 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.9% 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.

With 929 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Silverhill town against its county rather than against national figures.
