Union County, GA Property Records & Statistics
Union County is one of the pricier housing markets in this part of Georgia. The median home value is $268,150, nearly double the state median of $140,550 and well above the national $173,750. The median rent of $872 is also higher than Georgia's $818 and the national $840.25.
Despite the high values, property taxes are low. The county's median property tax rate is 0.48%, well below the state's 0.9% and the national 0.74%, which softens the cost of owning an expensive home. Renter-occupied housing makes up only 16.61% of homes, compared with 25.74% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so owner-occupied housing dominates.
Median household income is $60,636.50, above the state's $53,094 but below the national $65,108. Incomes that trail the national level, alongside home values that are well above it, suggest that buying can be a stretch for local earners.
The unemployment rate is just 1.27%, far below the state's 2.91% and the national 2.87%, indicating a strong local job market. Overall, Union County combines high home values and rents with light property taxes, a large share of homeowners, and very low unemployment.
