36017, Clio, AL

The 36017 zip code of Clio, AL is located in the southeast corner of Alabama. The population of this zip code was 9,827 as of the 2010 census. Home prices in this zip code have increased significantly over the past few years, and are now among the highest in Alabama.

According to Zillow, the median home value in this zip code was $130,000 as of September 2017. This is more than double the median home value in Alabama as a whole ($49,500). The increase in home values has been particularly pronounced in recent years; according to Zillow, the median home value rose by 29% from 2013 to 2017.

One reason for this increase may be that Clio is a growing city. According to the US Census Bureau, Clio's population grew by 10% between 2010 and 2016 (the most recent data available), which is much faster than average for cities of its size across America. Additionally, Clio has seen strong job growth over the past few years; according to Indeed., there were an estimated 2,600 jobs available in Clio as of May 2017. This strong job market may be attracting new residents and investors to Clio's housing market, which can drive up home values.

Despite these positive factors, it's important to keep in mind that not everyone living in Clio can afford a high-priced home. In fact, according to Zillow's analysis of data from Realtor Associationof Alabama (RAAM), only about 4% of homes sold in this zip code were priced at or above $200K as of September 2017 – far below the nationwide average of 17%. Additionally, while many homes within this zip code are expensive compared with other parts of Alabama (and America), not all homes are expensive; according to Zillow's analysis , about one-third (33%)of homes sold within this zipcode were priced at or below $100K. So while it's true that many homes within this zip code are worth a lot more than typical houses elsewhere in Alabama – and even much more than typical houses elsewhere across America – not all homeowners within this area can afford those prices.
