Walker County, AL Property Records & Statistics
Walker County offers some of the lower housing costs in Alabama. The median rent is $682.50, below the state median of $722 and the national median of $840.25. The median home value is $99,800, which is under the Alabama figure of $122,900 and far below the national median of $173,750. Both renting and buying cost less here than in most places.
The median property tax rate is 0.27%, lower than the state rate of 0.33% and about a third of the national rate of 0.74%. Combined with low home values, this keeps annual tax bills small, making ownership especially affordable for residents.
Median household income is $47,750, below the state median of $50,535.50 and the national median of $65,108. The lower income helps explain the lower housing costs. The unemployment rate is 2.51%, which is better than both the state rate of 2.71% and the national rate of 2.87%, so jobs are relatively available even though earnings are modest.
Renter-occupied housing makes up 20.05% of the county, close to the state share of 20.69% and a little under the national share of 21.81%. The rental market is therefore similar in size to the rest of Alabama, with homeownership still the majority arrangement.
