Lexington is a tiny city located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 228 people and just one neighborhood, Lexington is the 456th largest community in Georgia. Lexington has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic cities.
Lexington is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Lexington is a city of service providers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Lexington who work in maintenance occupations (14.16%), sales jobs (11.50%), and food service (10.62%).
Of important note, Lexington is also a city of artists. Lexington has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Lexington’s character.
In addition, Lexington is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.
Residents will find that the city is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Lexington is worth considering.
Being a small city, Lexington does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The per capita income in Lexington in 2018 was $38,631, which is wealthy relative to Georgia and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $154,524 for a family of four.
