What it’s like
The place. Ellerslie is a very small community in Harris County, Georgia, where nearly every home is lived in by its owner. Household incomes run above the county's, and typical home values sit well above what many older homeowners in other parts of the country would expect. Winters are mild and short, with January the coldest month and highs staying above freezing, while July brings hot summers. Rain is plentiful through the year, with only a little snow mixed in.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Harris County, some of the largest workplaces are Hyundai MOBIS, Koch Foods of Pine Mountain Valley and Harris County Schools. Unemployment in the county is low and a little lower than a year earlier, the county has added jobs over the past year, and a small share of residents work from home.
Things to do. The best known places nearby are the Little White House, a museum, and F. D. Roosevelt State Park, a protected area, both a longer drive away. Callaway Gardens, a botanical garden, is also a longer drive away and suits an unhurried day among plants and paths. The Columbus Museum, another longer drive away, adds a place to spend a rainy afternoon indoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Ellerslie’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 Harris County and the Columbus, GA-AL metro.
