Hinesville city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hinesville city is a small city in Georgia, with 35,282 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #33 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 29 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Hinesville city earn a median of $59,216 a year, 24.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% 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 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hinesville city is valued at $174,300, 42.6% below the national figure and 9% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,167 a month, 17% below the national figure, or roughly $14,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.6% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 46.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
A median age of 29 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
