Fargo city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fargo city is a very small community in Georgia, with 470 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #504 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 43 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 Fargo city earn a median of $71,105 a year, 9.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 15.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fargo city is valued at $82,400, 72.8% below the national figure and 57% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $662 a month, 52.9% below the national figure, or roughly $7,944 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.2% 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 1.2×, 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. 80.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 470 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fargo city against its county rather than against national figures.
