What it’s like
The place. Georgetown is a small city in Quitman County, in the southwest part of Georgia, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes here are modest, and the typical home is priced well below what many older homeowners elsewhere would expect. Winters are mild, with chilly lows in January, and summers turn hot by July.
Work. Few residents work from home, and few adults hold a four-year degree, so most jobs are done on site. Across Quitman County, the largest workplaces include Good Sportsman Marketing, a retailer, and Quitman County Schools. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Walter F. George Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away, and the Mandeville Site, an archaeological site, is close by as well. For a longer outing, George T. Bagby State Park and Providence Canyon State Park are both protected areas a longer drive away, suited to a day trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Georgetown’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Quitman County and the Eufaula, AL-GA metro.
