Montgomery
6.5
High score (8-10)
Montgomery is the state capital with Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama State University, and Faulkner University — government workers, military, and college students give the city a more transient population than its size would otherwise produce. The Equal Justice Initiative's National Memorial for Peace and Justice has made Montgomery a destination for progressive and historically-minded visitors from across the country, and women who are professionally connected to the government and military sectors are more sophisticated and externally-oriented. The Cloverdale neighborhood and downtown Garden District have some genuine social life.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Montgomery has real city infrastructure but has been economically stagnant for decades — the government and military economy doesn't create the private sector dynamism of Huntsville or the university culture of Tuscaloosa. Women here have a stable but not thriving economic reality, and the social scene reflects that. The racial and class geography of Montgomery is complex and shapes where social interaction can happen.
Lower score (below 6)
Montgomery's crime concentration in certain areas and the city's overall economic stagnation create a difficult social environment. The city has been passed by Huntsville as Alabama's second economic force and the professional class has been slowly shrinking. An outsider without specific connections to the government or military sector will find Montgomery's social scene limited.
