Property tax · $184/mo 0.93% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Troup County, GA
Insurance & upkeep · $254/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. Lagrange is a city in Troup County, and its people tend to be younger than in many American towns. Most homes are rented rather than lived in by their owners, and incomes run below the county's overall. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect in a city of this size, and a good number of households live below the poverty line. Winters are cool and fairly mild, while summers run hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehousing and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Lagrange are Troup County Schools, Walmart and Great Wolf Lodge. Unemployment is low and has eased slightly over the past year, and across Troup County there are somewhat more jobs than a year earlier. Most people have a fairly short drive to work, and some work from home.
Things to do. In or beside town, Hills and Dales Estate and Bellevue are both museums, and Callaway Stadium is a stadium. A short drive away, Blue John Creek and Whitewater Creek are small rivers good for a walk along the water. Farther afield, Callaway Gardens is a botanical garden, a longer drive away.

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