Russell CDP, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Russell CDP is a small town in Georgia, with 1,335 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #339 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Russell CDP earn a median of $65,259 a year, 16.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 17.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Russell CDP is valued at $104,200, 65.7% below the national figure and 46% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,314 a month, 6.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,768 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.2% 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 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 54.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
