Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Douglasville is a quiet, semi-rural residential neighborhood on Birmingham's far southwestern edge with few typical tourist attractions. While it experiences less violent activity than dense inner-city Birmingham neighborhoods, high rates of property crime, economic disinvestment, and poor street lighting mean visitors should stay alert and stick to daylight hours.”

About the area

Quiet ResidentialSemi-RuralCar-DependentDisinvested

Douglasville is an outlying residential enclave situated between southwestern Birmingham and Bessemer. Characterized by modest single-family homes, rolling topography, and wooded patches, it offers a peaceful rural-suburban feel but lacks commercial development and pedestrian infrastructure.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
