Bibb County, AL

Demographic and economic profile of Bibb County, AL, sourced from the US Census Bureau (American Community Survey) via Data USA.

AI Overview

Bibb County is a small, rural Alabama county of 22,152 residents with an economy reflected in a GDP per capita of $21,299 and median household income of $52,541, though a 10.0% unemployment rate and 51.6% labor force participation rate point to a constrained local labor market. The workforce skews toward lower-credentialed occupations, with only 11.5% holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and median worker earnings of $30,884 suggest a relatively low-cost labor pool. Housing costs are modest—median home value of $132,600 and median gross rent of $802/month—though a 20.5% poverty rate and -1.7% population decline over five years indicate ongoing demographic contraction.
