Among the 100 largest places in Georgia, Atlanta has the most residents (505,268), followed by Columbus and Augusta. Click any column to sort; click a city for its guide.
Across the 100 places in Georgia that we cover, the median is 24,074 and the average 42,564; the figure runs from 505,268 (Atlanta) to 11,749 (Douglas). That is a spread of 43.0 times between the two ends.
The first five are Atlanta, Columbus, Augusta, Macon-Bibb County, Savannah. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: size brings more employers and services but also longer commutes and more competition for housing. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
