What it’s like
The place. Randolph is a small town in Bibb County, Alabama, in the central part of the state. Across Bibb County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home is valued below the typical home across the country. Many households live in poverty, more than across the country as a whole, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country.
Work. Residents of Bibb County work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, retail, and professional and business services. Job numbers grew over the past year, and unemployment is a little higher than it was a year earlier. Most people drive to work, and few work from home, far fewer than the national pattern.
Things to do. Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge and Oak Mountain State Park are both protected areas a longer drive away, good places for walking and time outdoors. Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum, also a longer drive away, is a museum devoted to railroads. For the weather, January is the coldest month and July the warmest, and the area gets more rain and melted snow each year than most of the country.

Natural hazards
- TornadoesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Bibb County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Bibb County and the Birmingham-Hoover, AL metro.
