Garden City city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Garden City city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 10,375 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #108 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 35.7 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 Garden City city earn a median of $41,735 a year, 46.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Garden City city is valued at $160,700, 47% below the national figure and 16% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,111 a month, 21% below the national figure, or roughly $13,332 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 40.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
