Colquitt County, GA Property Records & Statistics
Colquitt County has a median rent of $746.50, a bit below the $818 median across Georgia and the $840.25 national median. The median home value is $109,000, under Georgia's $140,550 and well below the national median of $173,750, so housing costs are modest compared with both benchmarks.
The median property tax rate is 0.93%, slightly above the state rate of 0.9% and above the national rate of 0.74%. Owners pay a somewhat larger share of their home's value in taxes than the typical Georgia or U.S. homeowner, which matters more in a county where home values are lower. Renter-occupied housing makes up 35.14% of occupied homes, much higher than the state's 25.74% and the national 21.81%, so rentals are a large part of the local market.
Median household income is $50,192, below the state's $53,094 and the national $65,108. The unemployment rate is 3.66%, higher than the state rate of 2.91% and the national rate of 2.87%.
