What it’s like
The place. Crawford is a very small city, home to far fewer people than most places in Georgia, in Oglethorpe County. Homes here are valued at a typical level that sits well above the county's household income, so it helps to look at both side by 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, with many others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Across Oglethorpe County, the largest workplaces are Oglethorpe County Schools and Raven Products, a ropes manufacturer. Very few people work from home, and the typical commute is a long one, so most workers travel some distance to their jobs. The county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and unemployment there is a little lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. The best-known places nearby are Sanford Stadium, a stadium, and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, a botanical garden, both a longer drive away. For time outdoors, Watson Mill Bridge State Park is a protected area, also a longer drive away, and the Georgia Museum of Art is a museum in the same category of distance.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Crawford’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Oglethorpe County and the Athens-Clarke County, GA metro.
