Westover town, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Westover town is a small town in Alabama, with 2,298 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #210 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Westover town earn a median of $90,125 a year, 14.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 62% above the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 4.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westover town is valued at $279,600, 7.8% below the national figure and 77% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $986 a month, 29.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,832 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.1% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

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.
