Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Nelson is a modest, working-class residential enclave where daytime visits are generally unremarkable, but elevated property crime across the surrounding district requires situational awareness. Stick to primary roadways, lock vehicles, and avoid wandering residential backstreets after dark.”
— Gogo, on Nelson

About the area

Quiet ResidentialCar-DependentWorking-ClassModest Cottages

Nelson is a low-density residential neighborhood located in south-central Mobile, featuring older mid-century single-family homes and bungalows. It sits within convenient driving distance of downtown Mobile, maritime industrial hubs, and Mobile Bay, but features virtually no internal commercial or tourist attractions.

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.
