Mobile is a relatively large coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Alabama. With a population of 182,595 people and 86 associated neighborhoods, Mobile is the fourth largest community in Alabama.
Another interesting thing about Mobile, despite not being a huge city, is that there is a relatively high proportion of people living here who are young, single, and upwardly-mobile professionals. This makes it a good choice for other relocating single professionals. Here, these young singles will find many others like themselves, with opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.
One of the nice things about Mobile is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
The overall education level of Mobile citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 30.25% of adults in Mobile have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in Mobile in 2022 was $31,328, which is upper middle income relative to Alabama, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $125,312 for a family of four. However, Mobile contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
