Troy, AL is covered by 3 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 26,273 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates. U.S. cities rarely map cleanly to a single ZIP — Troy splits its residents across 3 delivery areas, each with its own demographic and housing profile. The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Troy, the median household income averages $51,890 and per-capita income averages $21,354. Poverty rate runs at 22.5% and unemployment at 5.5%. On housing, the average median home value is $187,950 with median rent of $885 per month, and 59.9% of occupied units are owner-occupied. These are arithmetic averages across the 3 ZIPs — not population-weighted — so small ZIPs influence the headline numbers the same as large ones.
