Average rent in Alabama
The median asking rent in Alabama is $1,600 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.
Against an average home value of $227,084, that rent level prices Alabama at a 8.98% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Alabama markets.
