Cusseta-Chattahoochee County unified government, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cusseta-Chattahoochee County unified government is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 9,181 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #119 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 23.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Cusseta-Chattahoochee County unified government earn a median of $59,221 a year, 24.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cusseta-Chattahoochee County unified government is valued at $99,800, 67.1% below the national figure and 48% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,235 a month, 12.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,820 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% 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 1.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 36% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 23.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
