Visitors should have a specific purpose for visiting, keep to daytime hours, and remain aware of their surroundings.”

About the area

ResidentialSuburban-Style GridCar-DependentHistoric Industrial Heritage

Powderly Hills is a predominantly residential, working-class neighborhood located in the southwest quadrant of Birmingham. It features modest mid-century single-family homes, rolling topography, and close proximity to the historic mining corridors of Red Mountain. It has minimal commercial development within its immediate boundaries, functioning largely as a commuter community.

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.
