The median home value is $76,000, far under the state figure of $122,900 and less than half the national median of $173,750. Both renting and buying are inexpensive compared with most of the country.
The median property tax rate is 0.38%, higher than the state rate of 0.33% but roughly half the national rate of 0.74%. Because home values are low, the dollar amount of tax owed is small even though the rate is a little above the state average.
Median household income is $38,427, well below the state median of $50,535.50 and the national median of $65,108. Lower earnings help explain the low home values and rents. The unemployment rate is 4.01%, higher than the state rate of 2.71% and the national rate of 2.87%, pointing to a more challenging job market than most of Alabama.
Renter-occupied housing makes up 20.69% of the county, matching the state share of 20.69% and just under the national share of 21.81%. The rental market is therefore about the size of the statewide norm, with a steady share of households renting.
