Perry city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Perry city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 22,243 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 35.1 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 Perry city earn a median of $81,648 a year, 4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% above 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 12% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Perry city is valued at $209,300, 31% below the national figure and 9% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,105 a month, 21.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,260 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.3% 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.

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.
