Margaret isn’t just growing — we’re surging.

Population Growth

In 2020, Margaret had just over 5,100 residents. Today, the latest Census estimate puts us just shy of 7,000. That’s more than 30% growth in just a few years — making us the fastest-growing city in St. Clair County and the 10th fastest in all of Alabama.

But growth is only half the story. The other half? Prosperity.

This means Margaret is not just adding people — we’re attracting higher-paid residents, skilled professionals, and families who are ready to invest in our community. Our growth is matched by our economic strength.

Why This Matters

Fastest Growth: We’re setting the pace for the county.

2nd in Income: Only Argo tops us in earnings — and they have far fewer residents.

Future Potential: With smart planning, we can turn growth into better roads, stronger infrastructure, and the services a city of our size deserves.

We are not “old” vs. “new” Margaret. We are one city – proud, united, and ready for what’s next. From Brookhaven to Old Margaret Road, our neighborhoods tell the same story: people want to be here, live here, and build here.

We are Margaret. We are growing. And we are at a decision point. To plan, or keep going down the same path.
