According to the national census, Tuscaloosa is one of the worse places in America for major crimes and property crimes.

With a crime rate of 44 per one thousand residents, Tuscaloosa has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 23.

-The crime rate in Alabama is 21.4, and the national average is 19, while 16 percent of Alabama's population is under the poverty line. Searching for a safe place to live is essential, and sadly, Alabama does have a high violent crime rate of 5.20 per 1,000.

15.2% of Tuscaloosa families live in poverty.

Alabama Families Poverty rate for the entire state of Alabama is 16.2% by the same metrics used for Tuscaloosa.

-Median income for Alabama single
$27,030 from 2020 census
-Median income for Tuscaloosa single
$21,463 from 2020 census

-Tuscaloosa's housing expenses are 24% lower than the national average and the utility prices are 7% higher than the national average. Transportation expenses like bus fares and gas prices are 6% higher than the national average. Tuscaloosa has grocery prices that are 4% higher than the national average.
No one wants to live their reason why the house prices are so much lower. Can’t sell houses on par with national average so they just raise every thing for the people that’s already there.

These are the latest stats comparing Tuscaloosa to New York City and the entire country. As you see Tuscaloosa alone has a far higher crime than the rest of the country.

you do realize a huge percentage of people on this board have actually also been to tuscaloosa and lo and behold, they made it out alive and *shocked face* actually had a great time.

every city has bad areas. don't go to the bad part of town on the outskirts and you'll be just fine.

No you weren't. You can try to convince yourself of that, but you won't convince anyone here.

The city of Tuscaloosa is quite safe, again, unless you go wayyyyy out of your way to find danger. the city limits of tuscaloosa proper couldn't be safer, really. but then you as a vols fan may just be scared off by the many arse beatings you've had here.

Houndstooth bar has a pretty good burger
Southern Ale house
Hooligans isnt bad but not as good as Ave pub
Rama Jamas

Dinner:
Depalmas
Chucks
Side by Side
Five
Southern Ale House
Mellow Mushroom has pretty good pizza
Nicks in the Sticks is a classic (Actually called Nicks Original Filet House)

You do understand how city proper vs outskirts or satellite communities work, right?

Or are you intentionally being this dense?
