What it’s like
The place. Pitts is a very small city in Wilcox County, Georgia, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and the poverty rate is modest. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers get hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others in manufacturing, government, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Wilcox County, the largest workplaces include Wilcox County Schools, Selectis Health and the Ofi Peanut Shelling Co. in Rochelle. Very few people work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly short drive.
Things to do. For a day out, Lake Blackshear is a reservoir a longer drive away, good for time on the water. Georgia Veterans State Park, also a longer drive away, has a museum and grounds to explore. The Hawkinsville Opera House is a theatre, likewise a longer drive from town.

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