Comer city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Comer city is a small town in Georgia, with 1,928 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #301 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Comer city earn a median of $45,284 a year, 42.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 25.6% 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 Comer city is valued at $185,900, 38.7% below the national figure and 3% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $881 a month, 37.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,572 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.3% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 59% 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.
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.
