Pembroke city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pembroke city is a small town in Georgia, with 2,628 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #255 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 27.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Pembroke city earn a median of $66,797 a year, 14.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 12.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pembroke city is valued at $169,800, 44% below the national figure and 11% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $990 a month, 29.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,880 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 43.9% 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.
A median age of 27.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
