Overall safety score

“Go with care. Little Italy, centered along 10th Avenue South within Birmingham's broader Southside district, is a charming, student- and medical-heavy enclave with great dining. While it benefits from regular UAB police patrols, visitors should stay alert after dark due to citywide property crime risks and occasional vehicle break-ins.”

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.
