Monticello city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Monticello city is a small town in Georgia, with 2,668 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #253 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 42.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Monticello city earn a median of $45,625 a year, 41.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 15.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Monticello city is valued at $164,100, 45.9% below the national figure and 14% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,003 a month, 28.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,036 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.4% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 57.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
