What it’s like
The place. Statham is a small city in Barrow County, and it is a place where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. The population is young for a town of its size, and incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are mild and cold snaps are short, summers are hot, and the rain is steady through the year with little or no snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Among the biggest workplaces in Statham are Zalkin Americas and Benchmark Automation, both makers of packaging machinery, along with the telephone line construction firm cable east. Most people drive a fair way to work, and few work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away are Fort Yargo State Park, a protected area for walking and time outdoors, and the Barrow County Museum, which covers the local area's past. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Lake Lanier, a large reservoir, and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Statham’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 Barrow County and the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, GA metro.
