Temple city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Temple city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 5,655 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #155 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 31.7 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 Temple city earn a median of $89,269 a year, 13.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 56% 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 2.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Temple city is valued at $210,800, 30.5% below the national figure and 10% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,482 a month, 5.4% above the national figure, or roughly $17,784 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 2.4×, 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. 85.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
