Lilburn city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lilburn city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 14,939 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #83 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 Lilburn city earn a median of $57,266 a year, 27.1% 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. 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 25.1% 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 Lilburn city is valued at $278,600, 8.2% below the national figure and 45% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,479 a month, 5.2% above the national figure, or roughly $17,748 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.2% 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.
