Bama fans and Auburn fans are the exact same.
Seriously. It's the same damned demographics and everything. Two large public state schools with their own passionate sidewalk fanbases. They're pretty much offering the same basic options for educational paths. I'm guessing they have about the same out-of-state numbers, with Bama perhaps having a slight edge.
Frankly, no fanbase in the SEC has room to talk about the kinds of people who support their school. We're all a bunch of rednecks. Even Vanderbilt draws a significant percentage of its students from the general SE/Eastern Seaboard region. It's hilarious when some people think their own fans are somehow different from fans of the school they hate. At best, one might have more dumbfricks simply because they have a larger fanbase. But the percentages aren't going to change. Anyone who seriously believes otherwise is just a moron trying to deal with poor self-esteem.

Alabama and Auburn students/alums are generally kids that are either from (a) in-state, (b) out-of-state kids of alums or (c) out-of-state from big cities (Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, Texas cities, more than that now for Alabama).
They are basically the same.
Alabama clearly has a larger non-alumni following than Auburn. The non-alumni who are fans of Auburn and Alabama are generally the exact same kind of person, it just so happens that 70% of them are Alabama fans and 30% are Auburn fans. That means 70% of the good, solid working class non-grads are Alabama fans and 30% are Auburn fans. However, it also means that 70% of the redneck non-grads are Alabama fans and 30% are Auburn fans.
That's just how it is. In addition, like yellowhammer said, Alabama has a lot more regional redneck fans (Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia) than Auburn does.
So, in conclusion
- Auburn and Alabama students/grads two peas in a pod
- Auburn and Alabama redneck fans are the same group, Alabama just has 7/10 of the rednecks following them
