Georgetown is a very small town located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 2,299 people and just one neighborhood, Georgetown is the 236th largest community in Georgia.
Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, Georgetown is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 39.66% of the Georgetown workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 27.7%. Overall, Georgetown is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and transportation and shipping workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Georgetown who work in sales jobs (15.54%), office and administrative support (9.55%), and law enforcement and fire fighting (8.81%).
Another notable thing is that Georgetown is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
Overall, Georgetown’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the nation, which makes a great place to live if safety is an important concern.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Georgetown has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Georgetown a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
As is often the case in a small town, Georgetown doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
In Georgetown, just 7.07% of people over 25 hold a college degree, which is very low compared to the rest of the nation, whereas the average among all cities is 21.84%.
The per capita income in Georgetown in 2018 was $18,639, which is lower middle income relative to Georgia, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $74,556 for a family of four. However, Georgetown contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
