What it’s like
The place. Maplesville is a very small town in Chilton County, Alabama, with a population that makes it one of the smaller places in the county. Incomes in the county sit a little below those across the country, and homes in town are modestly priced. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and the town is quiet and spread out, with most errands and jobs a drive away.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by the building trades, manufacturing and shops. Across Chilton County, the largest workplaces include Chilton County Schools, Adient, which makes automobile seat frames, and Kumi Manufacturing Alabama, which makes motor vehicle moldings and extrusions. The drive to work is on the longer side, and nobody in town mainly works from home. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month and summers hot, and the year brings plenty of rain. For a day out, the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum is a railroad museum, and Lay Lake is a reservoir popular for time on the water, each a longer drive away. The Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area for walking and watching wildlife, also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Maplesville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Chilton County and the Birmingham-Hoover, AL metro.
