Auburn city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Auburn city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 8,222 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #132 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 33.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Auburn city earn a median of $78,317 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 37% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Auburn city is valued at $232,000, 23.5% below the national figure and 21% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,198 a month, 14.8% below the national figure, or roughly $14,376 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
