Is Georgia a Good Place to Live? Georgia Rankings, Cost of Living, Crime & Taxes
Georgia ranks #26 of 50 with a composite score of 55.4 and a B grade, strongest in growth (#10) and weakest in transportation (#47). The median household earns $79,991 (1% below the national median), homes typically cost $330,817 (10% below the national average), and violent crime is 297 per 100,000 (9% below the national average).
Georgia is a metro Atlanta bet: 148,244 households arrived (#6 nationally), and the northside suburbs hold what pulls them in, the safest streets and highest incomes included. The tradeoff is a car-only life, a mean commute of 29.4 minutes (#45) and a median income of $79,991 that trails the national figure outside those suburbs.
Georgia by the numbers
Six measures every state is judged on, each with Georgia's rank of 50 and the national figure beside it.
Sources, latest releases: Census Bureau ACS (income), Zillow Research (home value), BEA Regional Price Parities (cost index), FBI state crime estimates (crime), BLS LAUS (unemployment), WalletHub tax burden study (taxes). Rank 1 is the best value in each measure: highest income, lowest cost, lowest crime.
Read the Georgia overview
Georgia scores above the national average in 5 of 11 categories and ranks #5 of 14 states in the South, behind 4 regional neighbors. Its biggest edge over the country is unemployment rate (3.4%, 0.6 points below the national average); its biggest shortfall is median household income ($79,991, 1% below the national median). That mix of top-10 finishes (1) and bottom-10 finishes (2) is why the composite alone undersells the tradeoffs a mover here faces.

Regions of Georgia
More than half the state's people and nearly all its high-wage jobs, split north-south: the northside suburbs price and test like a different state from South Fulton and Stonecrest.
The mountains, Lake Lanier and the Athens college scene; cooler than the rest of the state, growing fast along the interstates, and a bedroom region for the northern suburbs.
Macon, Columbus and Augusta sit where the hills meet the coastal plain; homes cost half of Atlanta's, jobs lean on the military and hospitals, and summers run hotter.
Savannah, its port and the barrier islands; humid, hurricane-exposed with insurance premiums to match, and the one Georgia market where tourism and logistics set the rents.

How the score works
Eleven categories, each scored 0–100 and weighted into one composite. Grades follow rank.
The weights
Economy 15% · Safety 12% · Health 12% · Education 12% · Affordability 10% · Fiscal Health 8% · Growth 7% · Transportation 7% · Livability 7% · Outdoor Access 6% · Environment 4%. The composite is the weighted sum, stretched linearly so states spread across most of the 0–100 range.
From raw numbers to scores
Every raw measure is placed on a 0–100 scale between a fixed floor and ceiling, inverted where lower is better (crime, cost, taxes), then combined within its category. The same scale applies to every state.
Letter grades
Grades follow rank, not score: A+ for ranks 1–5, A for 6–10, B+ for 11–18, B for 19–26, C+ for 27–34, C for 35–42, D for 43–48, F for 49–50. A C+ state is not failing; it is in the middle third.
Cities, budgets and neighbors
The 20 Georgia city scores, the household budgets and the neighbor table on this page are computed from the same sources as the state score. City ranks are among the cities we track, not all cities in the state.
Editor's notes
Passages marked as editor's notes are written for this state and add context the numbers cannot: regions, tradeoffs, who the state fits. Every figure inside them is pulled from the data at build time, so the words cannot drift from the numbers.
Always the latest release
Each source is the most recent release its agency has published. The page is rebuilt when a source updates, so the score can move without any change in the state itself.
What the score cannot tell you
Weather and climate, culture and pace, politics beyond the Cook index shown for context, the quality of a specific school, hospital or neighborhood, job prospects in your field, and anything without a public, comparable, 50-state source. Statewide averages also hide the metro-versus-rural split, which is why the editor's notes name places.

Key takeaways
What the Georgia numbers say when read together.
Growth is Georgia's strongest suit
Georgia is a #26 state overall but #10 of 50 for growth, 16 places better than its composite rank, with a score of 51.5 against a national average of 38.8. Fiscal Health (#12) is next. Growth carries 7% of the composite.
Transportation is where Georgia falls furthest behind
Georgia ranks #47 of 50 for transportation, 21 places below its overall #26, with a score of 38.7 against a national average of 49.8. At 7% of the composite, it is the category holding the overall score down most.
Unemployment rate is 0.6 points below the national average
Georgia's unemployment rate is 3.4%, 0.6 points below the national average of 3.95%, #13 of 50 (1 = lowest). The largest gap in the other direction is median household income: $79,991, 1% below the national median. Source: BLS LAUS, latest release.
More households arrive than leave
Georgia ranks #16 of 50 on net household flow per 1,000 residents (+1.3). The households arriving report $2,119 less in average income than those leaving ($70,169 against $72,288), so the state is trading down on income even as the headcount grows. Florida is both the largest source and the largest destination.
A middle income is squeezed less here than in most states
A family of four earning $75,000 ends the year at a $2,800 shortfall after housing, childcare, utilities, groceries, transport and taxes, against a $11,758 shortfall in the median state (#14 of 50). A single adult on the same income comes out at a $32,185 surplus; a retiree couple at a $36,785 surplus. Infant childcare runs $11,066 a year, 29% below the national average.
Georgia sits 4th among its 6-state neighborhood
3 of Georgia's 5 bordering states rank above its #26; the closest match on the composite is Tennessee. Median income among them runs from $66,659 in Alabama to $77,735 in Florida; Georgia is at $79,991.
Frequently asked questions about living in Georgia
Is Georgia a good place to live?
Georgia ranks #26 of 50 with a B grade, #5 of 14 in the South. It is top 10 in growth and bottom 10 in outdoor access and transportation. On the six headline measures it beats the national figure on 5 of 6 (home prices, cost of living, violent crime, unemployment, and tax burden) and trails on income. Whether that adds up to a good place to live depends on what you weigh; the household rankings below re-weight the same numbers for families, retirees and remote workers.
Where does Georgia rank among US states?
Georgia ranks #26 of 50 overall with a composite score of 55.4 (grade B), and #5 of 14 states in the South. Its best category rank is #10 (growth) and its worst #47 (transportation). The composite weights eleven categories, with economy, safety, health and education counting most; grades follow rank, so B means rank 19–26.
Is it expensive to live in Georgia?
At #25 of 50 for cost of living (1 = cheapest), Georgia is 4% below the national average: its index is 96.3 against a national baseline of 100. The typical home value is $330,817 (10% below the national average), and buying it takes an income of about $90,495 against a median household income of $79,991. At $75,000, a family of four comes out at a $2,800 shortfall after all costs, #14 of 50 (1 = most left over).

What is the crime rate in Georgia?
Georgia reports 297 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, 9% below the national average and #26 of 50 (1 = safest), and 1,409 property crimes per 100,000, 8% below the national average (#21). Its safety score is 71.2 out of 100, #26 of 50. Figures are FBI estimates from the latest release.
Does Georgia have good schools?
Georgia is #34 of 50 for education (score 53.1 out of 100). Its public school students average 269 in eighth-grade math on NAEP (#37) and 259 in eighth-grade reading (#18), and the high school graduation rate is 84.1%, 1.5 points below the national average (#33).

Georgia gained a net 14,671 households in the latest IRS release: 148,244 moved in and 133,573 moved out, +1.3 per 1,000 residents (#16 of 50). The largest source of arrivals is Florida (28,263 households) and the most common destination is Florida (23,475). Arriving households report an average income of $70,169 against $72,288 for those leaving, so movers out earn more than movers in. The IRS files count tax returns and say nothing about motives.
Is Georgia a red or blue state?
Georgia is an even split on the Cook Partisan Voting Index. The political lean is shown for context and is not part of the composite score.
What are the downsides of living in Georgia?
Driving, heat and thin public services outside the metro. Transportation ranks #47 and outdoor access #46, the mean commute is 29.4 minutes, and the air quality index of 45 ranks #47. Health is the quieter problem: life expectancy is 75.9 years, 1.0 years below the national average, and rural hospitals keep closing. None of it shows up on a home listing, and all of it shows up in year two.

Depends on what you're optimizing. Families with a budget pick north Fulton, Forsyth or east Cobb for schools and crime rates (Johns Creek is the safest tracked city). Young professionals pick Midtown, Brookhaven or Smyrna for the short drive to work. Anyone chasing value with a job market picks Savannah or Gainesville. For the cheapest house, Albany has the lowest cost index, with incomes to match.
Is Georgia tax-friendly for retirees?
Yes, more than the rate implies. Social Security isn't taxed, and the retirement income exclusion at sixty-two shelters much pension, annuity and investment income, doubled for a qualifying couple. Property tax runs 0.83% with a homestead exemption and senior breaks that vary by county. The sales tax of 7.49% bites, since local rates apply to groceries. The retiree rank of #27 reflects health, not taxes.
Does Georgia get hurricanes?
Rarely at full strength, but the coast and South Georgia feel them. The FEMA risk index is 13.4, 55% below the national average, for a mostly inland state. Savannah and the barrier islands carry the wind premiums; Albany and Valdosta have taken hits from storms crossing the Panhandle. Metro Atlanta's hazards are ice storms, tornadoes and tropical remnants that flood creeks. Budget for flood insurance near any creek.
Do I need a car in Georgia?
Yes, almost everywhere. 1.2% of commuters use transit statewide, and MARTA covers a slice of Atlanta, Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton that most jobs and homes sit outside of. Inside the Perimeter you can manage with one car and the train; anywhere else, plan on one per adult. Gas is cheap ($2.95 per gallon, #6 nationally), which softens the 29.4 minutes mean commute a little. Not much.
