LaGrange city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

LaGrange city is a small city in Georgia, with 31,479 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #40 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 LaGrange city earn a median of $41,491 a year, 47.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below 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 25.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in LaGrange city is valued at $175,600, 42.1% below the national figure and 8% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,038 a month, 26.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,456 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 37.7% 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.
