| Change | +0.03 | −0.00 | −0.01 | −0.03 |

Median age in Georgia

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 48.5 | 38.0 | 39.1 | 37.7 |

| Change | −1.9 | +2.4 | +1.8 | +2.3 |
Georgia skews older: half of its residents are older than 46.6, well above the national median of 40.1. That usually means more empty nesters and retirees, and fewer young families. The median age has dropped from 48.5 in 2006–10, but in a place this small, survey estimates can swing a lot from one release to the next.

| Change | +4.2 pts | +1.5 pts | +3.1 pts | +1.5 pts |

The median renter in Georgia pays $1,136 a month for rent and utilities, well below the national median of $1,571. Rent takes 38.3% of the typical renter's income, well over the 30% mark often used to define affordable rent, so many renters here are stretched.

The job market in Georgia has been strong: just 2.9% of the labor force was out of work and looking, well below the national rate of 5.4%. Each figure pools five years of surveys (2020–24), so it describes that whole stretch rather than today's job market.

About these numbers
Every figure on this page is a BestNeighborhood calculation from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), built up from the Census block groups that make up Georgia. Each ACS 5-year release pools five years of responses; this page shows the last 15 releases, 2006–10 through 2020–24. Neighboring releases share four of their five years, so they move gradually and small changes between them are within the survey's margin of error; in small places the lines can jump from one release to the next for the same reason. The maps show the same measures for each neighborhood, ranked against the whole country.
