Demographic and economic profile of Crisp County, GA, sourced from the US Census Bureau (American Community Survey) via Data USA.

AI Overview

Crisp County is a small rural Georgia county of roughly 20,000 residents, with an economy that generates a GDP per capita of $51,773 against median worker earnings of just $35,050, suggesting output is concentrated in capital- or output-intensive sectors rather than broadly distributed wages. The labor pool is limited — a 56.5% participation rate and 8.7% unemployment rate constrain available workers — and only 15.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree, though 84.2% have a high school diploma. Housing costs are low, with a median home value of $120,800 and median gross rent of $743/month, but a 24.1% poverty rate and a 12.5% population decline over five years point to ongoing demographic contraction.
