National Night Out
Business Insider, a business and technology news website based in New York City, recently named Vestavia Hills as one the 50 best suburbs in America.
The site examined data on nearly 300 suburbs, considering those populations between 5,000 and 100,000 within 40 kilometers of the nearest metropolitan area. The site also factored in average commute times, median household income, poverty and crime rates, public school ratings from GreatSchools.org, and a measure of housing affordability.
Vestavia Hills ranked 32 out of 50 on the list. The site stated that Vestavia Hills is a quick commute to Birmingham-Hoover and maintains its southern hospitality while being the fastest-growing town in Alabama. The evaluation added that Vestavia Hills boasts a great school system and has a median household income of $85,417.
Neighboring suburb Mountain Brook was fourth on the list. See full list here.
