Fairplay CDP, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fairplay CDP is a small town in Georgia, with 1,628 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #324 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 43.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Fairplay CDP earn a median of $104,182 a year, 32.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 82% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 0.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairplay CDP is valued at $277,500, 8.5% below the national figure and 45% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $989 a month, 29.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,868 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.4% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
