ZIP code 36583

ZIP 36583 is a very small community in Washington County, Alabama, with 631 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #553 of 656 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 48.6 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 ZIP 36583 earn a median of not published a year. 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 34.5% 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 ZIP 36583 is valued at $158,700, 47.7% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 94.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 631 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 36583 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for ZIP 36583 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.

ZIP 36583 is tabulated inside Washington County, Alabama, one of 14 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 656 across Alabama. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 36583 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 36583 reports a median household income of not published. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $158,700, close to the county figure and 7% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Alabama charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 36583 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 36583 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
