Show Notes
Birminghams metro area experiences uneven growth, with suburbs and outer spots thriving while the city core declines. From 2020 to 2025, the ten counties added nearly 5,700 people, but Jefferson County, the heart of the metro, lost 843 residents last year. Shelby County leads the growth with a 7% increase since 2020, while St. Clair and Cullman counties have the fastest growth in Alabama, driven by international migrants. However, Jefferson County is losing international residents, which outweighs its gains from births and domestic migration. The region is aging, and Tuscaloosas growth has slowed.
