Scottdale CDP, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Scottdale CDP is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 10,398 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #106 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 32.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Scottdale CDP earn a median of $82,778 a year, 5.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 Scottdale CDP is valued at $319,400, 5.3% above the national figure and 67% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,460 a month, 3.8% above the national figure, or roughly $17,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.3% 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.
