What it’s like
The place. Dillard is a very small city in the mountains of Rabun County, Georgia, with a population small enough that most people know one another by sight. Winters are cold, with January highs and lows that sit around and below freezing at night, while July is warm without being hot. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year, which keeps the surroundings green. Homes here are worth more than a lot of people expect for a place this small.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops, and restaurants and hotels. Across Rabun County, the largest workplaces include Rabun County Schools, Parkdale Mills, Inc Plant 24, and Mountain Lakes Medical Center. Unemployment in the county is low and about where it stood a year ago, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Waterfalls are the main draw around Dillard. Bad Branch Falls is in or beside town, and Betty Creek, a small stream, runs through the same stretch. A short drive away are Holcomb Creek Falls and Ada-Hi Falls, both waterfalls, and a longer drive leads to Dry Falls, another waterfall.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dillard’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 Rabun County.
