Warrior city, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Warrior city is a small town in Alabama, with 3,204 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #165 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 49.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Warrior city earn a median of $56,133 a year, 28.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 15.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Warrior city is valued at $152,100, 49.9% below the national figure and 4% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,006 a month, 28.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,072 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
