What it’s like
The place. Abbeville is a small city and the seat of Wilcox County in south-central Georgia. Residents are somewhat older than in many places, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Homes here are modest in price, and the county's household incomes are on the lower side.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, government, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Wilcox County, the largest workplaces include Wilcox County Schools, Selectis Health, which runs nursing homes, and Ofi Peanut Shelling Co. in Rochelle. Unemployment in the county is low and has eased slightly over the past year, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Little Ocmulgee State Park, a protected area with woods and water, is a longer drive away, as is Hawkinsville Opera House, a theatre. The Blue and Gray Museum, also a longer drive, is another of the better known places nearby. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
