What it’s like
The place. Remlap is a small community in Blount County where nearly everyone lives in a home they own, a good deal more than across most of the country. Household incomes run close to the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are mild and short, with cool days in January and almost no snow, while summers are hot and the year brings a lot of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Blount County, some of the largest workplaces are Blount County Schools, Tyson Farms and Walmart. Few people work from home, and unemployment in the county has risen a little over the past year, while the number of jobs has grown slightly.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Cahaba River and the Little Warrior River are each a short drive away. Rickwood Caverns State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive, as is the Birmingham Zoo. Also a longer drive away are the Birmingham Museum of Art and Barber Motorsports Park, a race track.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Remlap’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 Blount County and the Birmingham-Hoover, AL metro.
