Dunwoody city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dunwoody city is a small city in Georgia, with 51,563 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 36.5 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 Dunwoody city earn a median of $109,116 a year, 38.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 90% 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dunwoody city is valued at $579,400, 91% above the national figure and 202% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,806 a month, 28.4% above the national figure, or roughly $21,672 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 54.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
