What it’s like

The place. Milan is a very small city in Telfair County, Georgia, home to a small community where most people know one another. Homes here are priced well below what is typical across the country, and household incomes across Telfair County sit below the national picture. Winters are cool and mild, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with plenty of rain through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Telfair County, the largest workplaces include Telfair County Schools, Telfair Forest Products and Graceland Properties. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs, while few adults in town hold a four-year degree and very few work from home.

Things to do. Little Ocmulgee State Park is a protected area, a longer drive away, and a natural place for time outdoors. The Blue and Gray Museum is also a longer drive away, as is the Hawkinsville Opera House, a theatre. Nearby creeks and rivers, such as the Little Ocmulgee River, round out the surrounding countryside.

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