What it’s like
The place. Richland is a small city in Stewart County, in western Georgia, and a quiet one. Homes here cost far less than in most of the country, and across Stewart County household incomes sit well below what is typical nationally. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in most places.
Work. Across Stewart County, the largest workplaces are Stewart County Schools and Ethica, a skilled nursing facility operator. Unemployment across the county has run a little higher than a year earlier, though the county has added a few more jobs over the past year. Hardly anyone in town works from home, so most people travel to a job in person.
Things to do. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year, so outdoor days are possible in most seasons. Jimmy Carter National Historical Park and Providence Canyon State Park are protected areas, each a longer drive away, and the U.S. Army Armor and Cavalry Collection is a museum, also a longer drive away. Nearer to the water, Florence Marina State Park is another protected area a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Richland’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 Stewart County and the Columbus, GA-AL metro.
