The biggest vacancy rates in the city are the Fisher Neighorhood (I think, its along St Stephens rd) at 33% vacancy, the two housing projects tracts north of Brookley at 56.6 vacancy for west of Michigan Avenue and 41.4% for the housings project tract east of Michigan Avenue. Here's a funny one, the USA Census Tract has vacancy of 30.8%..... there's only 13 housing units in this census tract lol, not sure where these 13 private housing units are on the USA campus. Outside these 4 tracts within the city, the rest of the tracts don't exceed 20% and definitely averages in the lower to mid 10s% in vacancy

The biggest Vacancy rates in either counties are the beach towns. Dauphin Island vacancy rate is 58.7, Fort Morgan has a vacancy 58.4. One Gulf Shores tract has a vacancy rate of 83.5%. The other is 84% and Orange Beach 39.8%. Of course this makes sense as these areas of rent for a few day towns

Asian population increases as a percentage by 0.14% from 1.76% to 1.9%
Two or More races increases as a percentage by 0.66% from 1.44% to 2.1%

Overall Black population decreases from 98,691 to 96,326 for a loss of 2,365
Overall White population decreases from 87,723 to 81,362 for a loss of 6,361
Overall Asian population increases from 3,427 to 3,554 for a gain of 127
Overall two or more races increases from 2,808 to 3,927 for a gain of 1,119

I didn't do the other categories given the limited information from past census and their small representative size.

Looks like the two largest racial groups in the city are both declining.

I mean..... wellllll...... at least Mobile is very slowly becoming more diverse..... lol

And, there are other parties besides Restore Mobile working in Oakdale. But, you are correct in your assessment of the age in the housing stock of that Davidson area.
I was hoping to see that we wouldn’t be smaller than Tuscaloosa-Northport in 20 years if nothing changes. That is supremely demoralizing

Be careful applying short term changes to long term as a rule, especially considering the recent economic growth of the area.

IMO The city has been in a demographic shift approaching 20 years now with more blacks migrating westward. Mobile has cultural history similar to New Orleans and as of now appears to have similar demographics to New Orleans. To me, mobiles demographics are more like Charlotte at the urban population stand point. The urban population is why Mobile seems bigger than what the census says the city is. With the urban population floating around 330,000 and the city of Mobile with a population of “187,000” leaves 143,000 people not part of the city population but part of urban population. Of that 143,000, 75,000 lives within 3 miles outside of city limits. Anyway I’m not trying to go into that rabbit hole but as far as police and fire protection for the city of mobile, they are left to deal with a population of 257,000. All of the numbers of population and growth of an area depends on perspective. I think I’ve said this before but if west Mobile was a city It would be one of the fastest growing cities in Alabama. Wemo would be growing faster than fairhope, Spanish fort, etc. . funny how baker high school became the 2nd largest high school in Alabama. Also, in the same area, causey middle school would be a 7a if it were a highschool. I remember when the health hut was the only business on shillinger road. Once the city council and the mayor start working together Mobile will seem to have boom over night when in reality it’s been growing

Mobile's in a transition, this is short-term, Mobile still looks to benefit greatly in the long term with all the work they've done the past 8 years, just takes time, until then we just need to annex until we can get east Mobile to grow and infill. Mobile is doing well though, everything is in the positive except only population
