The region experiences an average annual temperature of 61.8 degrees with an average annual snowfall of 1.4 inches. 

Once known as the South’s largest manufacturing center, Birmingham is now among the most economically diversified in the nation. Healthcare, banking and finance, automotive manufacturing and professional services have replaced steel production as the leading economic sectors.

Area schools are nationally recognized among the nation’s best. Recreational amenities are abundant with all the cultural attributes of a much larger metropolitan area. Moreover, Birmingham is nestled in the hills and valleys of one of the most beautiful sections of the country.
