Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Alabama

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Alabama, particularly the Huntsville metro area, contains the state's highest-income zip codes with several areas exceeding $125,000, likely reflecting the concentration of aerospace, defense, and technology employment. The Black Belt region stretching across the south-central part of the state displays a pronounced corridor of low-income zip codes, with many falling below $30,000, representing some of the most persistent poverty in the nation. The Birmingham metro area exhibits stark income segregation, with affluent suburban zip codes in the $80,000–$125,000 range sitting immediately adjacent to urban core areas below $25,000.
