Huntsville is the largest city in Alabama now and I believe Montgomery is second , slightly ahead of Birmingham in population. Birmingham metro area is largest though , at 1.1+ million.

Yeah, 123% of the state of Alabama’s growth in the past two years has been in metro Huntsville, Daphne-Fairhope, Tuscaloosa, and Auburn. The rest of the state is as a whole losing population.

Metro Birmingham is still by far the largest population center at just under 1.2 million. Metro Huntsville is now at 515,000, so not quite half the size. Birmingham however is stagnant. It has added just 565 people in the past two years (+.05%).
