What it’s like
The place. Haleyville is a small city in Winston County, Alabama, with a younger population than is typical for many small towns. Incomes run well below the county's, and more households live below the poverty line than you might expect. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than across most of the country, and a four-year degree is uncommon among adults. Winters are cool and short, with snow rare, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, shops, schools, hospitals and social care, and the building trades. Across Winston County, the largest workplaces include Clayton, which makes manufactured homes, Winston County Schools, and Masonite, which makes door frames. Job numbers across the county grew over the past year, and a typical commute is a fairly short drive, with very few people working from home.
Things to do. Natural Bridge Park, a protected area, and the Buttahatchee River are both a short drive away, and make for easy outings on foot or by water. A longer drive brings you to William B. Bankhead National Forest, a large protected area, and to Sipsey Wilderness, also protected and well suited to a full day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Haleyville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Winston County.
