The Rocket City keeps booming. The Huntsville metro area, the only large metro in Alabama to see rapid growth last year, passed the 500,000 mark in 2021.
The Huntsville metro area, which includes Limestone and Madison counties at the northern edge of Alabama, added nearly 9,000 people in just one year, from July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021. That was the most total people added by any Alabama metro area during that time.
Only the small Daphne-Fairhope-Foley metro, which includes Alabama beaches and all of Baldwin County, grew faster than Huntsville.“Huntsville, to no one’s surprise, is a growing and vibrant community,” Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said in an email to AL.com. “While our population may be the biggest, we will continue working hard to be the best in everything we do.
“You see it, you feel it every day here,” said Lee Lawson, president and CEO of the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance. “Our growth definitely outpaces the state and the country.”Baldwin County, home to Alabama’s beaches, has been one of, if not the fastest growing area in Alabama for the past decade-plus, and much of that boom has come from people moving from outside of Alabama.
In the Birmingham-Hoover metro area, the population remained relatively stagnant. The Birmingham-Hoover metro is still the most populous urban center in the state, more than twice the size of fast-growing Huntsville. There are more than 1.1 million people living across the six counties that make up the Birmingham metro, and four of them are growing.Shelby, St.
