Douglasville city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Douglasville city is a small city in Georgia, with 36,284 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #31 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 36.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Douglasville city earn a median of $76,591 a year, 2.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Douglasville city is valued at $313,500, 3.3% above the national figure and 64% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,457 a month, 3.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,484 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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. 48.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
