What it’s like
The place. Braswell is a very small town in Paulding County, Georgia, where people tend to be younger than in most places and fewer have a four-year degree than across the country. The typical home is worth less than many would expect this close to a large metro area. Winters are mild and short, with the coldest weather in January, while summers run hot, and rain and the occasional melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in the building trades. Across Paulding County, some of the largest workplaces are Paulding County Schools, Paulding Medical Center and Walmart. The drive to work is a long one, and only a small number of people work from home. Across the county, jobs have grown over the past year and unemployment is slightly lower than a year earlier.
Things to do. Several of the best-known places nearby are a longer drive away. Truist Park is a stadium, Etowah Indian Mounds is an archaeological site, and Six Flags Over Georgia is an amusement park. The Etowah River and Little Tallapoosa River offer quieter time by the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Braswell’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Paulding County and the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, GA metro.
