South Fulton city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
South Fulton city is a mid-size city in Georgia, with 109,157 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #7 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 35.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.
Households in South Fulton city earn a median of $81,798 a year, 4.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% 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 9.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in South Fulton city is valued at $270,600, 10.8% below the national figure and 41% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,607 a month, 14.3% above the national figure, or roughly $19,284 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.6% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
