Demorest city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Demorest city is a small town in Georgia, with 2,335 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #272 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 26.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Demorest city earn a median of $69,583 a year, 11.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Demorest city is valued at $216,800, 28.5% below the national figure and 13% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,244 a month, 11.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,928 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.1% 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.
A median age of 26.3 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.
