Overall safety score

“Go with care. Woodlawn Junction has undergone meaningful community-driven revitalization along its historic 55th Place corridor, making it an engaging stop during daylight hours for local dining and arts. However, elevated rates of property and violent crime in the surrounding East Birmingham area require visitors to remain vigilant and avoid walking through adjacent residential blocks after dark.”

About the area

Revitalizing CoreHistoric ArchitectureArts & CommunityUrban Transition

Woodlawn Junction serves as the historic commercial heart of the Woodlawn community in East Birmingham, centered around 1st Avenue North and 55th Place. It features restored historic storefronts, local eateries, community non-profits, and murals, though it sits within an area facing significant economic challenges.

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.
