What it’s like
The place. Colquitt is a small city in southwest Georgia and the seat of Miller County. The population is small, and residents are older on average than across the country. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than in many towns, and poverty is far more common here than in most places, with household incomes in the county below what is typical nationwide. A four-year degree is held by fewer adults than in the country as a whole.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing a good share. The largest workplaces in town include Miller County Hospital, Birdsong Colquitt, a peanut shelling operation, and Miller County Schools. Unemployment in the county is low and about where it stood a year earlier, and the number of jobs has been nearly flat.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Seminole State Park and Chattahoochee State Park are both protected areas, and George W. Andrews Lake is a reservoir; each is a longer drive away. Kolomoki Mounds State Park, also a longer drive, is an archaeological site and the best known of the nearby places. Winters are mild, with cool days in January, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
