This week the Radius+ team took a closer look at the Huntsville, AL CBSA.

Historical Supply Growth in Huntsville, AL CBSA:

2022: 6.1%

2023: 13.8%

2024: 7.5%

2025: 10.2%

Huntsville has experienced strong population growth, rising 15.9% since 2020, according to local reporting. Much of this expansion is driven by employment in aerospace, defense, and military-related sectors. However, the market has also absorbed very high levels of new supply in recent years, creating significant downward pressure on rental rates. Long-term fundamentals remain strong, but recovery will require a period of stabilization as demand catches up.
