Wilmington Island CDP, GA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wilmington Island CDP is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 14,457 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #88 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 43.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Wilmington Island CDP earn a median of $92,578 a year, 17.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 62% 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 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wilmington Island CDP is valued at $361,600, 19.2% above the national figure and 89% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,680 a month, 19.5% above the national figure, or roughly $20,160 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.2% 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.

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.
