Bowdon city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bowdon city is a small town in Georgia, with 2,284 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #277 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 39.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Bowdon city earn a median of $44,674 a year, 43.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% 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 27% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bowdon city is valued at $172,700, 43.1% below the national figure and 10% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $822 a month, 41.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,864 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.1% 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. 52.4% 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.
