Land is far cheaper in Alabama, taxes lower, gun rights intact, and for most of the state the crime rate is low. The larger cities such as Birmingham, Mobile and Huntsville have a very diverse ethnic population. In the rural areas of north Alabama it is or the most part white, but in many areas in the old cotton area it is mostly black. You can look up the city and county you are moving to on the census site and get a lot of info. I have lived in Alabama and California (Bay Area) and will take Alabama 10 to 1.
