What it’s like
The place. Coolidge is a very small city in Thomas County, in south Georgia, with a population small enough that most people likely know one another. Homes here are valued below what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes across Thomas County are on the modest side. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in manufacturing. Few people work from home. Across Thomas County, the largest workplaces include John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital, Flowers Bakeries and Thomas County Schools. Unemployment in the county is low and has barely changed over the past year, though the number of jobs slipped slightly last year.
Things to do. Lake Murphy is a lake a short drive away, and it is the closest spot for time on the water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Reed Bingham State Park, a protected area for walking and being outdoors, and to Pebble Hill Plantation, a museum for a look at the region's history.

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