Madison city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Madison city is a small town in Georgia, with 4,714 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #177 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Madison city earn a median of $79,133 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 38% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Madison city is valued at $313,100, 3.2% above the national figure and 63% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,128 a month, 19.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,536 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 40.5% 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.
