Yea that doesn’t seem right lol, might have put a wrong value somewhere, I’ll look back over it when I get a hold of my laptop later

Appreciate posting this information. The “regional” aspect can’t be ignored and not sure how it could be added to help compare apples to apples.

The way Huntsville and Madison are spreading, Athens will practically morph into them at some point. The “lines” between “Huntsville” and not Huntsville are simply geographical lines on the ground. Literally neighborhoods are right along the lines, which impacts everything economically but they aren’t counting in the cities’ population. So Madison city touches Huntsville yet it’s a separate numbers game. Where as other nearby cities are more separated economically.

Surely corporations have figured this out when positioning new stores on what 200k population is and isn’t. On paper, Fayetteville, TN is a different area where as Hazel Green might be greater Huntsville. In reality, economically, they are similar in supporting Huntsville economically.

Selma is the ranked 35
#41 is actually Center Point
Bessemer population fell by -1,437 with a 5.2% population loss


Please let me know if there are any more errors, will likely repost the list once anymore errors are found

Atmore's is a bit misleading, because since the 2010 census the city has de-annexed some of the state prison sites. That's where most of the population loss came from, not actual residents.

That's very interesting, I remember doing Atmore and thinking why the city had such a population tank
