Willacoochee city, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Willacoochee city is a small town in Georgia, with 1,430 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #335 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 40.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Willacoochee city earn a median of $37,292 a year, 52.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% below 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 18.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Willacoochee city is valued at $55,100, 81.8% below the national figure and 71% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $583 a month, 58.5% below the national figure, or roughly $6,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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 1.5×, 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. 59.3% 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.
