Montgomery County, AL, has experienced stagnant population growth over the past 13 years, with a recent decline of 0.4% in the last year, contrasting with Alabama's overall growth rate of 0.6%. The county's median age is slightly lower at 36.9 years compared to the state average of 39.3, indicating a younger demographic. However, the sex ratio of 89.4 suggests a notable gender imbalance. Montgomery's age dependency ratio of 64.5 is higher than the state average, reflecting a significant proportion of dependents, particularly among the young (38.8% under 18). This trend highlights challenges in sustaining population growth relative to other counties like Madison and Baldwin, which are experiencing more robust growth.
