Fayette County, GA Property Records & Statistics
Fayette County is a high-value, high-income market. The median home value is $361,400, more than double Georgia's $140,550 and well above the national $173,750. Rents follow the same pattern: the median rent is $1,547, nearly double the state's $818 and the national $840.25. Only 14.25% of occupied housing is renter-occupied, compared with 25.74% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so most households own their homes.
The median property tax rate is 0.88%, slightly below the state rate of 0.9% but above the national 0.74%. Because home values are so high, even that modest rate translates into larger tax bills than in many Georgia counties.
Income and employment are strong. The median household income is $110,821, about double the state's $53,094 and far above the national $65,108. The unemployment rate is 2.08%, lower than Georgia's 2.91% and the national 2.87%.
Together, the figures describe an affluent, owner-oriented county with expensive housing supported by high incomes and low unemployment. Buyers and renters should expect costs well above state and national levels, balanced by household earnings that are among the strongest in these comparisons.
