Alamo has a median household income of $250,000 (as of 2022[update]).[6] The average home price in Alamo is $2,400,000[7] (as of January 2024). In August 2007, a group of citizens launched a new initiative to incorporate the community,[8] the latest in a series of attempts that go back to the early 1960s or before; it was defeated by referendum in March 2009.[9] Previous failed Alamo incorporation efforts always included parts of other nearby unincorporated areas: Alamo-Danville (1964)[10] and Alamo-Danville-San Ramon (1976).[10][11]
