What it’s like
The place. Temple is a small city in Carroll County, Georgia, with a younger population than most of the country. Household incomes run above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and rents sit on the higher side for the area.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops close behind. Ingles Markets, a grocery chain, and Sonoco, a maker of wooden reels and flanges, are among the largest workplaces in Temple. Commutes tend to be long, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Little Tallapoosa River and Hominy Creek offer time by the water. A longer drive brings you to Six Flags Over Georgia, an amusement park, and to John Tanner State Park, a protected area. Winters are cool with very little snow, summers are hot, and the year is a wet one.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Temple’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
