Really surprised to see Huntsville this low. The Huntsville-Madison area was booming with opportunity in so many sectors while I was there from 2010-2014.

It might be that the area, which has been doing wonderful, is cooling down if only because its done so well it has to slow down to sort of, well, digest.

A lot of times you see huge growth, small growth while everything is consolidated, and then huge growth again.

2012 to 2015 is a pretty narrow time window - thin enough that any number of unique, exogenous factors could have played a role in out-sized numbers either too high or too low. I'd like to see those numbers over the last decade before gleaning too much out of it.

Huntsville also had a much larger denominator than the other areas - besides Birmingham metro - so the growth to get to +6 - 10% is going to take more in raw numbers.

Huntsville didn’t get the major drop from 2008-11, so the gdp growth wasn’t as expansive as counties that were hit harder.

Huntsville is growing like crazy. We’re supposed to be the largest city in the state within the decade.

Used to be 4th not that long ago.

The county area around Huntsville is where the new subdivisions are built. Therefore, the newer people live in Madison County and not Huntsville and are not counted on this list as Huntsville growth.
