6. Alabama – Kingston (Birmingham)
Kingston is one of Birmingham’s neighborhoods often linked with higher crime and economic hardship. The area has faced long-standing issues including poverty concentration, violent incidents, and limited redevelopment compared to more prosperous parts of the metro. While Birmingham has areas of strong growth, Kingston reflects structural inequality that has persisted for years. Alabama’s crime profile is often tied to its largest city with a violent crime rate of 1,683 per 100k residents, and within Birmingham, Kingston remains one of the more frequently discussed areas in that context.
