Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Oak Park is a quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in West Birmingham, but adjacent commercial strips and the broader western district experience elevated rates of both violent and property crime. Visitors without specific local ties should remain alert, keep vehicle doors locked, and avoid walking through unfamiliar residential streets after dark.”

Oak Park is a small, mid-century residential neighborhood located in western Birmingham near the Five Points West corridor. The area features modest single-family ranch homes, leafy streets, and convenient highway access to downtown Birmingham and the Birmingham CrossPlex sports complex.

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.
