“Sweet Home Alabama” indeed lives up to its reputation, securing the sixth spot on United Van Lines’ list. Alabama residents enjoy remarkably low property taxes and affordable homes. Interestingly, Alabama’s job market played a pivotal role in both attracting newcomers and prompting departures.
While the state maintains a relatively low unemployment rate, its median household income falls below the national average, presenting a trade-off for those considering the move. Despite this, Alabama’s charm and affordability continue to attract many looking to call it home.
