What it’s like

The place. Douglas is a city in Coffee County with a young population, with residents who are younger on the whole than in most American towns. Incomes here run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is typical, while fewer homes are lived in by their owners than you might expect in a Georgia town of this size. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and most people have a short trip to work.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in restaurants and hotels, and in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Douglas are Coffee County Schools, Pilgrims, which processes poultry, and Coffee Regional Medical Center. Job numbers across Coffee County have held roughly steady, and unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year earlier.

Things to do. General Coffee State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as are the waterways Broxton Creek and the Seventeen Mile River. Farther out, a longer drive takes you to the Satilla River or to the Blue and Gray Museum. Winters are mild and brief, with January the coldest month, while summers turn hot by July.
