And Birmingham has a better job market for healthcare/research, bio-science, and construction engineering people than Huntsville.
Birmingham's unemployment rate is nearly double that of Huntsville.
Huntsville's per capita income is significantly higher than Birmingham's. Huntsville's family median income is nearly double that of Birmingham.
Huntsville has nearly the exact percentage of healthcare practitioners and technology employees as Birmingham (between 6 and 7 percent for both cities).
For more interesting stats comparing the two cities:

Memphis= Poor man's St. Louis (unless if you're an NBA fan)
This is actually one of the worst comparisons in the whole thread. You act like St. Louis is just one of the most poppin', most progressive, fastest growing, most white collar cities in America right now or something, to be ranking Memphis so far below it.
Memphis and St. Louis are actually VERY similar: Both are historic Mississippi River cities whose best days are behind them and that both get criticized for pretty much the same reasons: high crime rates, bad schools, high poverty, lagging economies full of low wage blue collar jobs, large black populations (yeah, I said it), minimal growth (basically, not a lot of gentrification going on), etc.
REALLY, dude?!? As much as YOU boost Memphis all over City-Data?!? I can't BELIEVE you would post some crap like that. I bet you won't post it over on the Memphis Forum, alongside all those Chamber of Commerce-sounding posts you always flood the forum with...
It is nestled in the foothills of the blue ridge mountains next to a lake. It is like a resort
Gtech is next to an interstate.
My Auburn comment was inside joke among Clemson and Auburn grads
Clemson and Auburn don't look similar in my view
Only portions of it are next to the Freeway, like the stadium, arena, etc. The majority is a beautiful historic campus beneath a gorgeous tree canopy, directly connected to the heart of booming, job-filled Midtown. And of course Clemson has lower crime, it's a village in the middle of nowhere. Tech is also the superior school, but whatever.

It is interesting how people who don't attend certain colleges spend time marketing for them. What's the payoff for you. They have their own paid marketing team and most people are aware of the US news rankings which you cite without referencing. You should give them credit for their work.
You can't explain how G Tech is a superior school or why your opinion on it matters or what this has to do with the topic.
I was talking about the towns of Auburn and CLemson and you pop up to do free marketing for G Tech. I don't think Atlanta and Clemson are similar so to say Clemson is a poor man's version of Atlanta makes no sense. They are the perfect alternatives to each other.
For me, being next to beautiful lakes and the Blue Ridge isn't the middle of nowhere. I don't get excited about shopping centers and vertical office buildings and congested interstates.

they do have some interesting parelles. Downtowns are same size , but Pittsburgh is a bit more vertical and dense. Cincy has the OTR and Pgh has the Strip. Across rivers, Cincy has Covington and Newport, Pittsburgh has its Noth Side. As for nightlife though, Cincy has no comparion to Pittsburghs south side flats. or Lawrecevillle As for college districts, Cincy's area is decent. But no match for Oakland in Pgh, which is much more urban and vibrant. Other areas umm, lets say Mt Adams in Cincy. Equivalent to Mt Washington in Pgh. or north side in Cincy, the better version is Bloomfield in Pittsburgh, Hyde Park , Cincy is a much less dense version of Pittsburghs Squirrel Hill
