A population of 62,280, a 72% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $59,384 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Albertville, AL and Fort Payne, AL.

The metros whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
