What it’s like
The place. Roberta is a very small city in Crawford County, Georgia, and the people who live there are younger than in most of the country. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and homes cost less than in much of the country. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Crawford County, the largest workplaces include Crawford County Schools and Olin Chlor Alkali. The typical commute is a moderate one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The nearest outings are all a longer drive away. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park is an archaeological site, and Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area for walking and watching wildlife. Massee Lane Gardens is a botanical garden, also 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 Roberta’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 Crawford County and the Macon-Bibb County, GA metro.
