Social Circle city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Social Circle city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 5,113 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #168 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 34.7 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 Social Circle city earn a median of $82,188 a year, 4.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% 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 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Social Circle city is valued at $244,400, 19.4% below the national figure and 28% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,130 a month, 19.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,560 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
