I don't know.
I know central Alabama around the Birmingham area. There are communities that are little more than a Hwy with strip malls on each side extending for miles.
They are now primarily pawn shops, big lots and check cashing places and these aren't ghetto towns. They are firmly middle class. Alabaster and Pelham are two great examples. There's just not enough business to justify paying for a brick and mortar space anymore.
Seems urban blight will soon be exported to the ' burbs.

That's already happened in Metro Atlanta (South DeKalb, South Cobb, western Gwinnett, Clayton County).
