Montgomery, AL, United StatesCapital City
Follows United States Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
The population of 200,603 belies Montgomery's status as Alabama's capital - this city's cost of living may be affordable, but the weather is stifling and the crime rate is disturbingly high. Despite recent revitalization efforts, navigating the bureaucracy of local government and the persistence of racial divisions remain persistent headaches. Unless you're drawn to the state's political influence or civil rights history, this humid, high-crime city is likely best avoided.
