What it’s like
The place. Boligee is a very small town in Greene County, in west Alabama, with far fewer people than most towns. Incomes across the county run well below the national picture, and homes here are among the more affordable you will find. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are mild, with little or no snow, while summers are hot and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, and in professional and business services. Across Greene County, some of the largest workplaces are WestRock CP, which makes folding paperboard boxes, Greene County Schools, and Alabama Power Company. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has barely changed.
Things to do. Fort Tombecbe, a historic fort, and Gainesville Park and Bandstand, a garden, are each a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Moundville Archaeological Site is an old Native American settlement worth the drive, and the Black Warrior River offers time on the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Boligee’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Greene County and the Tuscaloosa, AL metro.
