Pine Lake city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pine Lake city is a very small community in Georgia, with 915 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #403 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 41.5 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 Pine Lake city earn a median of $71,250 a year, 9.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pine Lake city is valued at $278,500, 8.2% below the national figure and 45% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,310 a month, 6.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,720 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.1% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 57.8% 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.
