A location-specific housing guide to Montgomery city, Alabama using AHH property evidence and U.S. Census Bureau statistics. It is designed to complement the live AHH housing location page rather than duplicate it.

Population history and housing demand
Decennial Census counts show Montgomery city, Alabama at 205,764 residents in 2010 and 200,603 in 2020. The population declined by 2.5% over that decade.
A falling population does not automatically mean affordable housing is readily available. Housing need can remain concentrated by household type, rent level, accessibility needs and the supply of assisted units.
