Among the 100 largest places in Georgia, Milton has the largest share of people working from home (39.0%), followed by Decatur and Johns Creek. Click any column to sort; click a city for its guide.
Across the 100 places in Georgia that we cover, the median is 13.6% and the average 16.0%; the figure runs from 39.0% (Milton) to 3.9% (Moultrie). That is a spread of 10.0 times between the two ends. The state figure is 15.9%; 40 of the 100 places are above it and 60 at or below.
The first five are Milton, Decatur, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Dunwoody. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: remote work lets people live in cheaper places while earning city pay, but it depends on the employer. 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.
