About the area

Quiet ResidentialIndustrial PerimeterCar-DependentDeveloping / Blighted

East Thomas is an older working-class community located northwest of downtown Birmingham near industrial rail lines. The area features a mix of modest single-family homes, vacant parcels, and industrial perimeters. There are few tourist attractions directly within neighborhood borders, though it sits close to major city transit arteries.

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.
