What it’s like
The place. Tiger is a very small town in Rabun County, in the north Georgia mountains. Homes here are valued well above what is typical for the county's incomes, and winters are cool and mild enough that snow is a rare visitor. Summers are warm without being extreme, and the place gets a lot of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants and hotels. A noticeable number work from home. Across Rabun County, the largest workplaces include Rabun County Schools, Mountain Lakes Medical Center and Ingles Markets. The county has seen a slight dip in jobs lately, and unemployment there has stayed low and steady.
Things to do. Waterfalls are the draw here. Ada-Hi Falls and Becky Branch Falls are both a short drive away, and Black Rock Mountain State Park, a protected area, is close by as well. For a longer outing, the Tallulah River is 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 Tiger’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.
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 Rabun County.
