Housing % of Units Built Since 2010, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Alabama

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Alabama, particularly the Huntsville metropolitan area, displays a pronounced cluster of high new-construction activity, with several zip codes exceeding 20–30% of housing units built since 2010, reflecting the region's rapid population and employment growth. In contrast, the Black Belt region stretching across south-central Alabama and parts of western Alabama shows consistently low percentages, often near 0–4%, indicating minimal new residential development. Scattered pockets of moderate to high construction activity also appear around the Birmingham suburbs, Auburn-Opelika, and coastal Baldwin County, while many rural zip codes throughout the state remain gray or show negligible post-2010 building.
