Is Huntsville, Alabama Still Affordable?

 

We keep hearing that Huntsville is one of the most affordable cities in the United States, but is Huntsville really still affordable?

Housing Affordability in Huntsville

Overall affordability is measured using a few metrics, one of those metrics is the housing affordability index. If the housing affordability index score is 100, the median income for that city is 100% of what you would need to buy the median price range home for that area.

Huntsville Lands Space Command

Did you hear that the Rocket City was selected to become the home to the Space Command Center? Not only did Huntsville recently beat out cities in Colorado for the number one city in the U.S. to live in, which was reported by the U.S. News and World Report, but their selection for the U.S. Air Force Space Command was also recently confirmed as a fair process over these Colorado cities.

It sounds very fitting to have Space Command in the Rocket City, but what exactly is Space Command? Space Command was first established in December of 2019 when it became the sixth branch of the U.S. military which made it the first new branch to be added in 73 years.

We here at Rocket City Local have referenced Huntsville’s growth many times. Much of the movement into Huntsville is related to our growing tech and aerospace industries.
