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.

I was surprised by Tuscaloosa's numbers being in the negative. One possible explanation is that a lot of the construction in Tuscaloosa occured after the Tornado's (2011&2012) and then tapered off.
Auburn is growing too fast, for anyone considering moving here, please reconsider. Traffic is getting worse and I see far to many UA car tags.

What the frick is happening in Auburn??
Auburn/Opelika sits in the middle of two major car manufacturing assembly plants and courted all the suppliers of those plants to the area. They also used public school to court the executives of those companies to the area. Plus a new medical school is adding to growth.

So...Auburn is one of the least crappy places to live in a crappy state. Got it.

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.

With the surging enrollment at Alabama, why is the economy of Tuscaloosa county decreasing at that level?
The Tuscaloosa MSA includes Greene and Hale counties in addition to Tuscaloosa County. Greene in particular has seen it's already lagging economy completely collapse. Additionally, the economy in the north and eastern part of Tuscaloosa County was tied to coal mining, which also dried up during that time period due to Obama era regulations.
Record growth in the area of Tuscaloosa itself doesn't offset those losses.

Surprised NWA wasn’t #1. This place has exploded since I’ve moved here 7 years 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.

Is Huntsville too reliant on federal dollars, though? I dunno what to think of this economy. It's supposedly booming but debt levels are freaking high as h3ll. Folks thought the economy was booming right before the 'net bubble burst and the housing collapse.

Wrong. His stats are for the entire MSA, which includes ALL of Madison and Limestone counties.

It is amazing what $250k per year can do for the economy when it isn't shipped off to a church in Atlanta Georgia.
Congrats on that trickle down, Auburn.

Some of Baton Rouge might be Katrina-related as those who fled New Orleans after the floods might gradually be returning home.

The scientologist was holding us back.
Also where do they get these numbers? I was in starkville in 2015 but not in 2014. I bought enough beer to give it at least a 5% bump.
