What it’s like
The place. Pembroke is a small city that skews young, with a lower median age than most of the country. Incomes here run well below the county's, and more households live below the poverty line than one might expect in a county doing this well, though most homes are lived in by their owners. Homes cost a good deal, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in transport, warehouses and utilities, in shops, and in schools, hospitals and social care. Among the largest workplaces in Pembroke are Bryan County Schools and Food Lion. Unemployment across Bryan County is low, and the county has been adding jobs quickly, though the typical commute is long and very few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Savannah National Wildlife Refuge and Jack Hill State Park are protected areas, each a longer drive away. Roebling Road Raceway, a race track, is also a longer drive away, as is the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, a museum. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pembroke’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 Bryan County and the Savannah, GA metro.
