The U.S. Census Bureau last week released updated population estimates for all 462 incorporated cities and towns in Alabama. The updated estimates showed population change from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2022.

About half of the state’s incorporated places – 209 to be exact – gained at least one person during that time, with 49 places adding at least 100 people.

Among the biggest movers was Huntsville. Already Alabama’s largest city, Huntsville added an average of nine people per day between 2021 and 2022, and distanced itself further from the state’s other large cities. It’s now home to nearly 222,000 people – the only city in Alabama with a population over 200,000.

Several cities in Baldwin County, home to Alabama’s beaches and one of the fastest growing counties in Alabama, grew quickly, as well. Four Baldwin County cities were among the 10 fastest growing in the state among places with at least 10,000 people. They were Foley, Daphne, Gulf Shores and Fairhope.

Overall, Alabama added just under 25,000 people in 2022, growing slightly faster than most other states. About 15,000 of those newcomers came in cities and towns, meaning about 10,000, or nearly 40%, were in Alabama’s rural, unincorporated areas.

Losing population

But not every city grew, and many of the state’s largest lost people, continuing a trend for big Alabama cities not named Huntsville.

Some 26 cities lost at least 100 people, including several in the heart of the Birmingham-Hoover Metropolitan area. Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills and Mountain Brook – some of the most affluent suburbs in the region, all lost roughly 200 to 500 people from 2021 to 2022. and Birmingham itself lost just under 1,000, which was actually significantly less population loss than the Magic City has seen in recent years.
