    This is a small community in a single neighborhood. As throughout the site, some neighborhood-level data are reserved for subscribers.





    Overview


    Vredenburgh is a tiny town located in the state of Alabama. With a population of 214 people and just one neighborhood, Vredenburgh is the 376th largest community in Alabama.

    Occupations and Workforce

    Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Vredenburgh is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Vredenburgh is a town of sales and office workers, transportation and shipping workers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Vredenburgh who work in sales jobs (43.75%), healthcare (18.75%), and law enforcement and fire fighting (12.50%).

    Setting & Lifestyle

    Another notable thing is that Vredenburgh is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Vredenburgh’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

    Overall, Vredenburgh’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the nation, which makes a great place to live if safety is an important concern.

    The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Vredenburgh has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Vredenburgh a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

    Vredenburgh is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Vredenburgh isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 100.00% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

    Being a small town, Vredenburgh does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

    Notable & Unique Neighborhood Characteristics

    When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting. Some places look the same, but they only reveal their true character after living in them for a while because they contain a unique mix of occupational or cultural groups. This neighborhood is very unique in some important ways, according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.

    Modes of Transportation

    Our research reveals that 94.2% of commuters who live in the neighborhood get to work each day by driving alone in their automobiles, which is a higher proportion than 99.6% of U.S. neighborhoods.

    Occupations

    More people work in manufacturing and as laborers here in the neighborhood than in 98.9% of the neighborhoods in America. Despite the loss of manufacturing jobs across the nation, this neighborhood remains a place where, compared to other parts of the country, you will find many laborers and manufacturers.

    Furthermore, with 2.3% of employed workers living in the neighborhood active in the military, this neighborhood has the distinction of having a higher proportion of people in the military than 96.6% of American neighborhoods. This is a major shaper of the neighborhood's culture and character.

    People

    NeighborhoodScout's exclusive research revealed that 96.8% of the adult residents in the neighborhood do not have a 4-year college degree, which is a lower rate of college graduated adults than found in 98.4% of the neighborhoods in America.

    Real Estate

    This neighborhood has wide open spaces, few people, and lots of space to stretch out. If you like locations that fit that description, you may like this neighborhood. Based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis, with only 6 people per square mile living here, this neighborhood is less crowded than 98.0% of America. One of the notable things about is that it is one of the quietest neighborhoods in America, according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis and quantitative rating of quietness. When you are here, you will find it to be very quiet. If quiet and peaceful are your cup of tea, you may have found a great place for you.

    In addition, the real estate in this neighborhood consists of more mobile homes than 97.7% of all neighborhoods in America, with 39.0% of the occupied housing here being classified as mobile homes. So if you are looking for a mobile home, or you like the look and feel of mobile home parks, this neighborhood might have the setting you desire.

    Furthermore, despite all of the residential real estate here in the neighborhood, NeighborhoodScout has discovered that much of it is vacant. In resort or second-home vacation areas, this naturally occurs because homes and apartments are seasonally occupied, and empty for a portion of the year. In non-vacation or resort areas, however, this can be an indicator of property abandonment or a weak real estate market. The vacancy rate here is 38.2%, which is higher than 97.6% of all U.S. neighborhoods.

    Car Ownership

    Most American households own a car or other vehicle. Many own two cars or perhaps three. In the United States, it is useful to have an automobile not only for commuting, but also for shopping and getting to other services one needs. But NeighborhoodScout's analysis revealed that households in the neighborhood have a highly unusual car ownership. Residents of this neighborhood must really love automobiles. NeighborhoodScout's Analysis reveals that 39.0% of the households here have four, five, or more cars. That is more cars per household than in 97.8% of the neighborhoods in the nation.

    Did you know that the neighborhood has more Native American ancestry people living in it than nearly any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 2.0% of this neighborhood's residents have Native American ancestry.

    The Neighbors

    There are two complementary measures for understanding the income of a neighborhood's residents: the average and the extremes. While a neighborhood may be relatively wealthy overall, it is equally important to understand the rate of people - particularly children - who are living at or below the federal poverty line, which is extremely low income. Some neighborhoods with a lower average income may actually have a lower childhood poverty rate than another with a higher average income, and this helps us understand the conditions and character of a neighborhood.

    The neighbors in the neighborhood in Vredenburgh are lower-middle income, making it a below average income neighborhood. NeighborhoodScout's research shows that this neighborhood has an income lower than 84.5% of U.S. neighborhoods. In addition, 7.6% of the children seventeen and under living in this neighborhood are living below the federal poverty line, which is a lower rate of childhood poverty than is found in 55.8% of America's neighborhoods.

    A neighborhood is far different if it is dominated by enlisted military personnel rather than people who earn their living by farming. It is also different if most of the neighbors are clerical support or managers. What is wonderful is the sheer diversity of neighborhoods, allowing you to find the type that fits your lifestyle and aspirations.

    In the neighborhood, 49.2% of the working population is employed in manufacturing and laborer occupations. The second most important occupational group in this neighborhood is executive, management, and professional occupations, with 24.7% of the residents employed.

    Languages

    The most common language spoken in the neighborhood is English, spoken by 99.1% of households. Some people also speak Italian (2.1%).

    Ethnicity / Ancestry

    Culture is shared learned behavior. We learn it from our parents, their parents, our houses of worship, and much of our culture – our learned behavior – comes from our ancestors. That is why ancestry and ethnicity can be so interesting and important to understand: places with concentrations of people of one or more ancestries often express those shared learned behaviors and this gives each neighborhood its own culture. Even different neighborhoods in the same city can have drastically different cultures.

    In the neighborhood in Vredenburgh, AL, residents most commonly identify their ethnicity or ancestry as English (7.5%). There are also a number of people of Irish ancestry (4.0%), and residents who report Native American roots (2.0%), and some of the residents are also of Scots-Irish ancestry (1.5%).

    Getting to Work

    Even if your neighborhood is walkable, you may still have to drive to your place of work. Some neighborhoods are located where many can get to work in just a few minutes, while others are located such that most residents have a long and arduous commute. The greatest number of commuters in neighborhood spend between 15 and 30 minutes commuting one-way to work (66.1% of working residents), which is shorter than the time spent commuting to work for most Americans.
