Property tax · $224/mo 0.87% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Henry County, GA
Insurance & upkeep · $329/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Hampton is a small Georgia city in Henry County, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. The population is younger than in much of the country, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many other places. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month and daytime highs that stay comfortably above freezing, while summers turn hot by July and rain or melted snow falls steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in transport and warehousing, or in government. Among the largest workplaces in Hampton are the Federal Aviation Administration, Southern States, which makes power switching equipment, and the Veterans Health Administration. Commutes are long, and a share of people work from home, while jobs across Henry County have slipped a little over the past year.
Things to do. Atlanta Motor Speedway, a race track, is in or beside town. A longer drive away, Atlanta has the Georgia Aquarium, the High Museum of Art and Zoo Atlanta, which suit a day out for visitors of any age.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hampton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Henry County and the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, GA metro.
