What it’s like

The place. Alberta sits in Wilcox County, in the Black Belt region of central Alabama. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the population skews older than the national average. Winters are mild and summers are hot and humid, with long stretches of warm, dry-to-muggy weather.

Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, or in the building trades. Unemployment has risen slightly over the past year, while the number of jobs has edged up. Few adults hold a four-year degree, household incomes run lower than across much of the country, and more residents live below the poverty line than across the nation. Most people drive a fair way to work, and few work from home.

Things to do. Roland Cooper State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is a good place for a day outdoors. William "Bill" Dannelly Reservoir, also a short drive off, is a reservoir for those who enjoy the water. For history, the Cahaba archaeological site lies a longer drive away, and the National Voting Rights Museum is also a longer drive.

Natural hazards

FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Wilcox County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Wilcox County.
