Lumpkin County, GA Property Records & Statistics
Lumpkin County has a median rent of $1,056, well above the Georgia median of $818 and the national figure of $840.25. Renting is slightly less common than in the state overall: 25.35% of occupied homes are renter-occupied, compared with 25.74% in Georgia and 21.81% nationally.
The median home value is $248,700, far higher than Georgia's $140,550 and the national median of $173,750, which reflects the county's appeal as a north Georgia mountain community. Even so, the median property tax rate of 0.73% is lower than the state rate of 0.9% and just under the national rate of 0.74%, so owners pay a relatively modest rate on higher-value homes.
Median household income is $65,902, above the state figure of $53,094 and slightly above the national $65,108. Higher incomes help offset elevated housing costs. The unemployment rate is 3.19%, higher than Georgia's 2.91% and the national 2.87%, a sign that the job market is a little softer than average.
Overall, the data shows a higher-cost, higher-income county with light property tax rates, a modest renter share, and somewhat elevated unemployment.
