I feel pretty spoiled because crime isn’t something I ever worry about. Im somewhat concerned my 16 yo will wonder into the wrong part of town but cops do a great job of keeping the criminals segregated.
The political geography of Birmingham is so different than most of the rest of the South / America that it’s frankly kind of difficult to compare. How many other metro areas in America have less than 1/5th of their population in the city itself?
It skews crime stats like crazy, not that Birmingham doesn’t have its struggles, but it’s not apples to apples with Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, etc.
