What it’s like
The place. Uvalda is a very small city in Toombs County, Georgia, where neighbors are likely to know one another and the pace is quiet. Home values here sit well below what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes across Toombs County are modest. Winters are mild and brief, with little or no snow, while summers are hot and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Few people work from home. Across Toombs County, the largest workplaces include Trane Technologies, Toombs County Schools and Meadows Regional Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Alligator Creek is a river a short drive away, and it is the closest water to town. Farther out, a longer drive brings you to Jack Hill State Park and Little Ocmulgee State Park, both protected areas. The Ohoopee River is another longer drive away for anyone who likes to spend time beside a river.
