What it’s like
The place. Albertville is a city in Marshall County, Alabama, where most homes are lived in by their owners. The population is younger than in many American towns, and household incomes run below the county's. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in the country as a whole, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cool and mild, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Poultry processing is the biggest source of jobs in town, with employers such as Tyson Chicken and Wayne Sanderson Farms, alongside the Mueller Company, an iron foundry. The typical trip to work is short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Lake Guntersville State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and Guntersville Lake, a large reservoir, is a longer drive. Cathedral Caverns State Park, also a longer drive, is another protected area to visit, and it suits a day out in cooler weather.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Albertville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Marshall County and the Albertville, AL metro.
