Grayson city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Grayson city is a small town in Georgia, with 4,699 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #179 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 31.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Grayson city earn a median of $125,704 a year, 60.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 119% 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 1.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Grayson city is valued at $457,000, 50.6% above the national figure and 139% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,294 a month, 63.2% above the national figure, or roughly $27,528 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.9% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.9% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
