The median home value of $153,300 is well above the state figure of $102,350 and under the national $173,750.
The county's median property tax rate of 0.72% is just below the state rate of 0.73% and the national rate of 0.74%. Taxes are therefore in line with typical levels, though higher home values mean larger bills than in lower-priced Mississippi counties.

Only 17.67% of occupied homes are rented, compared with 23.88% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so owner-occupied housing dominates. In all, George County is a mostly owner-occupied area with mid-range prices, average taxes, and higher unemployment.
