Cobb County, GA Property Records & Statistics
Cobb County has a median rent of $1,542, far above the $818 median across Georgia and the $840.25 national median. The median home value is $353,500, more than double Georgia's $140,550 and roughly twice the national median of $173,750, which places the county among the pricier housing markets in the state.
Even so, the median property tax rate of 0.69% is lower than both the state rate of 0.9% and the national rate of 0.74%. Owners in Cobb County therefore pay a smaller share of their home's value in taxes than the typical Georgia or U.S. homeowner, although higher values still produce substantial tax bills.
Median household income is $97,106, compared with $53,094 in Georgia and $65,108 nationally, so local incomes are well above both benchmarks and help support the higher housing costs. The unemployment rate is 3.06%, slightly above the state rate of 2.91% and the national rate of 2.87%.
Renter-occupied housing accounts for 29.7% of occupied homes, higher than the state's 25.74% and the national 21.81%, suggesting a sizable rental market alongside a strong base of homeowners.
