Living in Mulga


Mulga is a tiny town located in the state of Alabama. With a population of 768 people and two associated neighborhoods, Mulga is the 317th largest community in Alabama. Mulga has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.34% 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.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Mulga has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Mulga a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One downside of living in Mulga, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 35.69 minutes every day commuting to work.

Being a small town, Mulga does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The population of Mulga has one of the lowest overall levels of education in the country: only 4.44% of people over 25 hold a college degree. The national average for all municipalities is 21.84%.

The per capita income in Mulga in 2022 was $27,454, which is middle income relative to Alabama, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $109,816 for a family of four. However, Mulga contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
