West End-Cobb Town, AL population, income and ZIP codes

West End-Cobb Town CDP is a small town in Alabama, with 3,705 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #145 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 33.9 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 West End-Cobb Town CDP earn a median of $55,603 a year, 29.2% 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. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 23% 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 West End-Cobb Town CDP is valued at $84,600, 72.1% below the national figure and 47% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $725 a month, 48.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,700 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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 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. 73.8% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
