Lowndes County, AL Property Records & Statistics
Lowndes County is among the most affordable housing markets in Alabama. Median rent is $722, exactly matching the state median of $722 and well below the national median of $840.25. The median home value is only $71,900, far under the Alabama figure of $122,900 and the national $173,750.
The property tax rate is 0.35%, slightly higher than the state's 0.33% but less than half the national rate of 0.74%. Combined with low values, annual tax bills on most homes are small.
Incomes tell a similar story. Median household income is $40,515, compared with $50,535.50 statewide and $65,108 nationally, so residents earn noticeably less than the typical Alabama or American household. Unemployment is 2.31%, lower than the state's 2.71% and the national 2.87%, meaning those who seek work are largely finding it even though pay levels are modest.
Renter-occupied housing accounts for 19.84% of homes, slightly below the state share of 20.69% and the national 21.81%. Most residents own their homes, and low prices keep ownership within reach.
