Lula city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lula city is a small town in Georgia, with 2,903 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #244 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 39 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Lula city earn a median of $64,282 a year, 18.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above 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 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lula city is valued at $205,300, 32.3% below the national figure and 7% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,156 a month, 17.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,872 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
