What it’s like
The place. Canon is a very small city in Hart County, Georgia, with a population smaller than most towns people think of as small. Household incomes run below the county's, and the typical home is valued well above what those incomes might suggest. Winters are mild, with a January chill but almost no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Hart County, some of the largest workplaces are Nestle Purina Pet Care, Hart County Schools and Walmart. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and most people travel a fair way to get to work, with very few working from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Victoria Bryant State Park is a protected area for walking and time outdoors, and the Ty Cobb Museum is close by for anyone interested in baseball history. Farther afield, Lake Hartwell is a large reservoir popular for boating and fishing, and Toccoa Falls is a waterfall that makes a good day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Canon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Hart County.
