What it’s like
The place. Concord is a small community in Jefferson County where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes sit about level with the county's, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than is typical. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers run hot, and rain falls plentifully through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing also employing many. Across Jefferson County, some of the largest workplaces are University of Alabama Hospital, THE Children's Hospital of Alabama and Jefferson County Schools. The drive to work is on the long side, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away are Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure, an amusement park, and Watercress Darter National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area for walking and quiet time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to the Birmingham Museum of Art and the Birmingham Zoo. Legion Field, a stadium, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Concord’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Jefferson County and the Birmingham-Hoover, AL metro.
