Villa Rica city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Villa Rica city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 17,798 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #66 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Villa Rica city earn a median of $86,052 a year, 9.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 50% 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 8.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Villa Rica city is valued at $250,700, 17.4% below the national figure and 31% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,462 a month, 4% above the national figure, or roughly $17,544 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.4% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.1% 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.
