About Ideal
Ideal is a tiny city located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 524 people and just one neighborhood, Ideal is the 396th largest community in Georgia.
Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Ideal is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Ideal is a city of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Ideal who work in healthcare (13.85%), office and administrative support jobs (13.08%), and sales jobs (9.23%).
A very large number of seniors call Ideal home: people 65 and over are 31.11% of the population. Because of the prominence of the retirement community, this is good place for the over-65 crowd to settle, as many of the city's services and social community are geared to this demographic.
Ideal is very much a car-oriented city. This is because the population of Ideal isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 98.41% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.
Being a small city, Ideal does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
