Hale County, AL Property Records & Statistics
Hale County offers lower home prices than Alabama as a whole, though rents are a little higher. The median rent is $761, above the state median of $722 but below the national median of $840.25. The median home value of $76,300 sits well under the state figure of $122,900 and the national figure of $173,750, so buying is far cheaper than renting would suggest.
The median property tax rate is 0.43%, higher than the 0.33% statewide rate yet considerably lower than the 0.74% national rate. With modest home values, annual tax bills tend to stay small even at a rate above the state median.
Median household income is $47,984, a little below the Alabama median of $50,535.50 and well below the national median of $65,108. The unemployment rate is 4.43%, higher than both the state rate of 2.71% and the national rate of 2.87%, which points to a less robust job market than elsewhere.
Only 12.06% of housing in the county is renter-occupied, much lower than the state share of 20.69% and the national share of 21.81%. That indicates a market dominated by owner-occupied homes, with a relatively small rental supply.
