What it’s like
The place. Midway is a small city in Liberty County, Georgia, with a population that makes it feel more like a village than a town. Household incomes here run higher than across the county as a whole, though a noticeable share of residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than hold one elsewhere in the country, and the typical commute is a fairly long one, with only a small number of people working from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Liberty County, the largest workplaces include Liberty County Schools, Liberty Regional Medical Center and Walmart. Unemployment across the county is unchanged from a year earlier, and the number of jobs has barely moved.
Things to do. Dorchester Academy, a museum, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Fort Morris Historic Site, a protected area, and the Jerico River, which is one of several rivers close by. Winters are mild with little or no snow, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year, so time outdoors is possible in most seasons.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Midway’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Liberty County and the Hinesville, GA metro.
