What it’s like
The place. Lumpkin is a very small city in Stewart County, in southwest Georgia, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Incomes across Stewart County are low compared with most of the country, and homes in town are modestly priced. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, summers are hot, and rain falls through much of the year.
Work. Across Stewart County, the largest workplaces are Stewart County Schools and Ethica, a skilled nursing facility operator. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs has edged up. Very few people in town work from home, so most travel to a job.
Things to do. Providence Canyon State Park is a protected area a short drive away. A longer drive leads to Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, another protected area. Walter F. George Lake, a large reservoir, is also a longer drive away and suits time on the water.

School districts come from the Common Core of Data (NCES, 2023–24); FTE marks full-time equivalent staff. Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.

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