Tillmans Corner has 17,677 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.3% of the population of Alabama. It covers 13 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 1,361 people per square mile. The median age is 34.8, 11% younger than the state median (34.8 against 39.3). It is a census-designated place: a community the Census Bureau counts as a unit, without a city government of its own, so services such as police, roads and zoning usually come from the county.
The median gross rent is $908 a month (rent plus utilities), 10% below the state median ($908 against $1,007). Over a year that is 17.9% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $166,700, which is 2.7 times the median household income ($60,837); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 66.1% of households own their home, 6% below the state average (66.1% against 70.2%).
The Mobile, AL metropolitan area has 172,550 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $47,000 a year, 8% below the national median ($47,000 against $50,980).

The area is most specialised in installation, maintenance, and repair (1.5 times) and construction and extraction (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($103,590) and healthcare practitioners and technical ($76,660).

About 1,590 mm (63 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Aug is the wettest month (185 mm) and Nov the driest (85 mm).
