MAKE IT YOURS

From county data to a finished map.

  1. Choose the editor

    Open the Alabama editor to compare the Tennessee Valley and Gulf Coast using the same county boundaries.

    Format the GEOID column as text before saving your CSV. Baldwin’s 01003 and Mobile’s 01097 both need the leading zero.

  3. Write the legend

    For relative growth, use one percentage scale across the state and keep both sides of zero visible in the legend.

  4. Export the map

    Check that Mobile and Baldwin are distinguishable around the bay in the PNG preview.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Alabama county map questions.

How do I preserve an Alabama GEOID in a spreadsheet?

Set the GEOID column to text so codes keep the leading zero. For example, use 01097 for Mobile County.

Are Mobile and Baldwin separate selections?

Yes. Mobile uses 01097 and Baldwin uses 01003. Coastal pieces shown in the source remain part of their respective county.

Can I color Huntsville as one feature?

The map selects whole counties. Use the appropriate county GEOIDs for county-wide Huntsville-area observations, and city geography for city-only data.

How do I compare counties in the Tennessee Valley?

Pick the counties that match your definition of the region, then join the same indicator for every county. Use the national editor if your comparison crosses into Tennessee.

Why does Baldwin differ from Mobile in the growth and migration maps?

The 2024–2025 estimates show Baldwin gaining on both measures and Mobile declining on both. One legend measures percentage population change and the other net domestic moves per 1,000.

Can I use this map as a flood or shoreline map?

The 1:500,000 cartographic boundaries are suited to county comparisons. Use a separate detailed hazard or shoreline source for those purposes.
