What it’s like
The place. Sasser is a very small town in Terrell County, Georgia, where people tend to know one another. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and homes are modestly priced. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are mild, with the coldest days in January still cool rather than harsh, while summers turn hot by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Across Terrell County, the largest workplaces include Terrell County Schools, Golden Peanut Company and the Agricultural Research Service. Unemployment in the county is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. The nearest outings are a longer drive away. Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, a protected area, is the best known of them, and Flint RiverQuarium is an aquarium in the same direction. For time outdoors, Kinchafoonee Creek is a river, also a longer drive away.

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 Terrell County and the Albany, GA metro.
