Vernonburg town, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Vernonburg town is a very small community in Georgia, with 130 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #633 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 55 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Vernonburg town earn a median of $175,833 a year, 123.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 207% 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 1.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Vernonburg town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,750 a month, 24.5% above the national figure, or roughly $21,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 85.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 55 puts Vernonburg town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 130 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Vernonburg town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value for Vernonburg town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
