WalletHub’s report on 2025’s Best & Worst Places to Rent in America placed Huntsville in the top 10 Best Places to Rent. WalletHub compared over 180 U.S. cities based on 21 rental attractiveness and quality of life indicators to help renters get the best value.

WalletHub compared the 150 largest metropolitan statistical areas across 11 key metrics, with data sets ranging from the share of adults aged 25 and older with a bachelor’s degree or higher to the quality of the public school system.

Rounding out the top five, Huntsville, AL, stands out with strong rankings in both cost of living and housing (#5) and local economy (#9), making it an excellent option for renters, seeking a balance between affordability and career stability.

According to Coworking Café, Huntsville earns this high spot due to number of STEM establishments, density and growth of STEM jobs, and annual average wage for these types of jobs.

Huntsville moves up a spot this year to land at #4! Specifically, it posted the fastest Millennial population growth in the top 20, rising 17.8% between 2019 and 2023. Although the overall share is still smaller than it is in larger metros, the pace of change signals a shift — and a growing appeal to younger workers looking for practical options.
