The place. Centralhatchee is a very small town in Heard County, Georgia, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Household incomes across Heard County are on the modest side, and a fair number of people live below the poverty line. Homes in town are worth a good deal less than in much of the country. Winters are mild and brief, with snow a rare event. Summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. People who live in Centralhatchee work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops close behind. Some work from home, though most travel to a job. Among the largest workplaces across Heard County are Heard County Schools, JAC Products, which assembles bumpers, and Southern Power Company, a power generator. Unemployment in the county is low and has stayed about where it was a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs than it had the year before.
