What it’s like
The place. Nahunta is a very small city in Brantley County, in the southeastern corner of Georgia. Homes here cost less than the typical home across the country, and household incomes across Brantley County are modest. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month and cool but not harsh days. Summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by transport, warehouses and utilities, then shops and restaurants. Among the biggest workplaces in Nahunta are Brantley County Schools, Bayview Nursing & Rehab and Brantley Telephone Company. Commutes are long, and very few people work from home. Across Brantley County, unemployment has eased a little over the past year and the number of jobs has grown.
Things to do. The Little Satilla River is a short drive away and is the closest spot for time by the water. Farther afield, Laura S. Walker State Park is a protected area, and Okefenokee Swamp Park is a museum devoted to the swamp. Both are a longer drive away.
