What it’s like
The place. Kite is a very small city in Johnson County, Georgia, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and rain falls through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in the building trades, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Johnson County, the largest workplaces include Johnson County Schools and Scott Health & Rehabilitaion, a skilled nursing facility. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Nature is the main draw nearby, though everything on the list is a longer drive away. George L. Smith State Park is a protected area, and Williamson Swamp Creek is a river for those who like to be near water. The Thomas Jefferson Elder High and Industrial School, also a longer drive away, is a museum for anyone interested in local history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Kite’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 Johnson County and the Dublin, GA metro.
