Moody is a medium-sized city located in the state of Alabama. With a population of 13,596 people and three associated neighborhoods, Moody is the 56th largest community in Alabama. Much of the housing stock in Moody was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Moody economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Moody, where the median household income is $86,627.00.
Also of interest is that Moody has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 19.80% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Residents will find that the city is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Moody is worth considering.
As is often the case in a small city, Moody doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The overall education level of Moody is somewhat higher than in the average US city of 21.84%: 28.79% of adults 25 and older in the city have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Moody in 2022 was $39,730, which is wealthy relative to Alabama, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $158,920 for a family of four. However, Moody contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
