What it’s like
The place. Ivey is a small city in Wilkinson County, Georgia, where almost everyone owns the home they live in. Homes here are priced modestly, and household incomes across the county sit below the figures for much of the country. Winters are mild and brief, with little or no snow, while summers turn hot and the rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Across Wilkinson County, the largest workplaces include Wilkinson County Schools, Eagle Railcar Services in Gordon, and Woody's Lumber. A small share of residents work from home, and few adults here hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. Bartram Educational Forest, a protected area, is a short drive away. Farther out, Lake Sinclair offers a lake for time on the water, and Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park is an archaeological site worth a longer drive. Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, also a longer drive, is a protected area for walking and watching wildlife.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Ivey’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 Wilkinson County.
