Snead, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Snead town is a small town in Alabama, with 1,490 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #261 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 34.7 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 Snead town earn a median of $46,075 a year, 41.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 16.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Snead town is valued at $169,400, 44.2% below the national figure and 7% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.7% 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Snead 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.
