Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Gordon Heights is a quiet, lower-income residential enclave in Bessemer, but the broader municipality faces significantly elevated violent and property crime rates compared to national averages. Visitors will find little tourist infrastructure and should exercise situational awareness, particularly after dark.”

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.
