Bloomingdale city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bloomingdale city is a small town in Georgia, with 2,983 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #240 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 46.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Bloomingdale city earn a median of $55,427 a year, 29.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% below the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bloomingdale city is valued at $217,500, 28.3% below the national figure and 14% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,338 a month, 4.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,056 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
