What it’s like
The place. Dixie is a very small community in Brooks County, Georgia, in the rural southern part of the state. Homes here are valued above what the county's household incomes might suggest, and the pace of life is quiet, with neighbors who are likely to know one another. Winters are mild, with cool days and nights that stay above freezing on most days, while summers are hot.
Work. Residents of Dixie work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Brooks County, some of the largest workplaces are Brooks County Schools, Fellowship Senior Living and Langboard, which makes reconstituted wood boards. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, and there are slightly more jobs than there were the year before.
Things to do. For time on the water, the Withlacoochee River and Lake Miccosukee are both a longer drive away, and Reed Bingham State Park is a protected area that is also a longer drive from town. Wild Adventures, an amusement park, is another longer drive for a day out with family.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dixie’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Brooks County and the Valdosta, GA metro.
