Blythe city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Blythe city is a very small community in Georgia, with 863 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #413 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 35.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Blythe city earn a median of $46,688 a year, 40.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 15.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blythe city is valued at $116,100, 61.7% below the national figure and 39% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,065 a month, 24.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,780 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.4% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.8% 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.
