Is ZIP code 35650 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 35650 sits within Lawrence County, AL. The figures below are the county's own FBI UCR numbers for 2024, the most accurate available statistic for this location, not a ZIP-specific calculation.

Lawrence County reported a violent-crime rate of 57 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 151 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 19 reported violent incidents across a county population of 33,073, this count is too low to support a reliable per-100K rate comparison. It may reflect a genuinely low-crime county, or it may reflect incomplete agency-level reporting to the FBI UCR Program for this county and year, small county-level counts are common in FBI Table 10 and should be treated as a data point, not a precise safety ranking.

ZIP 35650 is the largest ZIP in Lawrence County by population, 13,101 residents (#1 of 7 county ZIPs), across 212.37 square miles (62/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Lawrence County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Lawrence County crime page linked below.
