Whitesboro CDP, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Whitesboro CDP is a small town in Alabama, with 2,098 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #220 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 41.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Whitesboro CDP earn a median of $66,215 a year, 15.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Whitesboro CDP is valued at $117,900, 61.1% below the national figure and 25% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $946 a month, 32.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,352 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 1.8×, 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. 71.9% 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.
