Lowndes County, GA Property Records & Statistics
Lowndes County has a median rent of $976, noticeably higher than the Georgia median of $818 and the national figure of $840.25. Renting is common here: 35.71% of occupied homes are renter-occupied, compared with 25.74% statewide and 21.81% nationally, a pattern typical of a county with a large population of students and working households.
The median home value is $174,000, above both Georgia's $140,550 and the national median of $173,750. The county's median property tax rate of 0.76% is lower than the state rate of 0.9% and only slightly above the national rate of 0.74%, so higher home values do not come with an unusually heavy tax rate.
Median household income is $50,502, which sits below the state figure of $53,094 and well below the national $65,108. That gap, combined with rents above both benchmarks, suggests housing costs take a larger bite out of typical budgets. The unemployment rate of 2.81% is a bright spot, running below Georgia's 2.91% and the national 2.87%.
Taken together, the numbers describe a rental-heavy county with above-average housing costs, moderate property taxes, below-average incomes, and a steady job market.
