What it’s like
The place. Aragon is a small city in Polk County, Georgia, with a young population: the typical resident is well below the age of most American towns. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and a larger share of people live below the poverty line than is usual. Homes here cost less than in many parts of the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops close behind. Very few work from home. Across Polk County, the largest workplaces include Polk County Schools, Silver Comet Foods and Axillon Aerospace in Rockmart. Unemployment in the county has eased a little over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Taylors Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and the closest of the nearby places. A longer drive brings you to the Etowah Indian Mounds, an archaeological site, and to the Tellus Science Museum. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Aragon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Polk County and the Cedartown, GA metro.
