Pooler city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pooler city is a small city in Georgia, with 27,235 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #46 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Pooler city earn a median of $91,497 a year, 16.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 60% 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 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
