Austell city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Austell city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 8,351 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #129 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 34 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 Austell city earn a median of $67,500 a year, 14.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Austell city is valued at $255,700, 15.7% below the national figure and 33% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,426 a month, 1.4% above the national figure, or roughly $17,112 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
