What it’s like
The place. Addison is a small town in Winston County, Alabama, in the hill country of the northern part of the state. Household incomes here run a little below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home. Winters are cool and short, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities close behind. Across Winston County, the largest workplaces include Clayton, which makes manufactured homes, Winston County Schools, and Masonite, which makes door frames and sash. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county had more jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. The William B. Bankhead National Forest is a protected area a short drive away, with woods and trails to explore. A longer drive brings you to the Sipsey Wilderness, another protected area, and to Lewis Smith Lake, a large reservoir. Rickwood Caverns State Park is also within a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Addison’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 Winston County.
