Atkinson County, GA Property Records & Statistics
Atkinson County is one of the more affordable housing markets in Georgia. The median rent is $629, well below the state's $818 and the national $840.25, and the median home value of $79,700 compares with $140,550 across Georgia and $173,750 nationally.
Renting is more common here than in most places. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 32.16% of occupied homes, above the state share of 25.74% and the national 21.81%, which points to a sizable rental market alongside a base of lower-priced owner-occupied homes.
The median property tax rate is 0.92%, slightly above Georgia's 0.9% and higher than the national 0.74%. On lower home values, that rate still translates to modest tax bills, but it is a heavier rate than in many comparable areas.
Median household income is $42,273, notably below the state's $53,094 and the national $65,108. The low income level is consistent with the county's low rents and home prices. Employment looks strong by comparison: the unemployment rate is 1.19%, well under the state's 2.91% and the national 2.87%.
Taken together, the figures describe a low-cost county with below-average incomes, a relatively large rental share, a slightly elevated tax rate, and very low unemployment.
