Are we talking about just the city or the whole metro?

It doesn’t matter. You aren’t always confined to the techinical City, all of of these are are the on edges of the city.

So Birmingham's bad areas are all on the west side of the metro?

Not all, maybe the north too? I’m not too sure.

But Atlanta's Hoods are well... the city’s hoods, east Point, college park, Far East/unincorporated Decatur, etc

You would definitely have to learn more areas here
