Lawrenceville city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lawrenceville city is a small city in Georgia, with 30,626 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #41 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 32.6 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 Lawrenceville city earn a median of $58,606 a year, 25.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 17.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lawrenceville city is valued at $335,100, 10.4% above the national figure and 75% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,457 a month, 3.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,484 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.8% 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 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 49.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
