What it’s like
The place. Surrency is a very small town in Appling County, home to few people and a quiet place to live. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and homes are modestly priced. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Appling County, some of the largest workplaces are Southern Nuclear, Appling County Schools and Appling General Hospital. Unemployment in the county is slightly lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Getting outdoors means a longer drive, but the water is the draw. The Ohoopee River is the best known nearby, and Jack Hill State Park is a protected area also a longer drive away. Winters are mild with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.

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