What it’s like
The place. Centerville is a small city in Houston County, Georgia, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and a larger share of households live below the poverty line than you might expect for a place of this size. Winters are mild and short, summers are long and hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Houston County, the largest workplaces include Houston County Schools, Houston Healthcare and Perdue Foods. Fewer people work from home than commute, and the drive to work is a fairly typical one.
Things to do. Middle Georgia Raceway, a race track, is in or beside town. A short drive away are the Museum of Aviation and Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area. For a longer drive, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park is an archaeological site worth the trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Centerville’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 Houston County and the Warner Robins, GA metro.
