We’ve always known Birmingham is a smart place to invest—but now it’s official. According to ATTOM’s 2025 Single-Family Rental Market Report, Jefferson County (Birmingham, AL) ranks among the top five U.S. counties for highest potential gross rental yields on 3-bedroom properties.
With a 13.6% projected rental return, Birmingham stands shoulder-to-shoulder with major metros like New York City and Atlantic City, and even outpaces many traditionally high-yield Sunbelt markets.
Why This Matters for Investors
The ATTOM report is built on real, nationwide data—tracking median home prices, rental rates, tax burdens, and other key metrics across over 300 counties. Their analysis confirms what Spartan investors already know: Birmingham offers the kind of cash flow and ROI most markets can’t match.
Even as rental returns shrink in more than half of U.S. counties, Birmingham continues to hold strong. With low property acquisition costs and steady tenant demand, Jefferson County is proving to be one of the most resilient and rewarding rental markets in the country.
