HomeArea Data › Newton County, Georgia

Newton County, Georgia — area data

Objective, published figures for this area — every number traces to a named government source and carries the vintage it was published for. Nothing here is a score, a grade, or an estimate.

Population density
459
people per square mile · population 125,583

The report adds the urban/suburban/rural tier, land area, and how density is trending.

A coarse whole-county average — a large county blends its dense core with a rural fringe, so a specific neighborhood can be far denser or emptier than this. Objective context about the area's character, never an estimate input.

Climate
62°F
annual average · COVINGTON

The report adds month-by-month temperature and precipitation normals, and the station of record.

1991–2020 normals from the nearest reporting station, which may sit some distance from any given address.

Public schools
22
public schools · 2024–25 school year

The report adds total enrollment, teacher FTE and the student–teacher ratio.

Counts and enrollment only — objective facts, never a school rating.

Median rent
$1,439
median gross rent · ACS 5-year 2024

The report adds an address-level rent estimate from real comparable listings, plus median home value, household income and rent burden.

A 5-year rolling American Community Survey average for the whole area — it describes the area, not any one property, and is not a rent estimate. This product uses the Census Bureau Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau.

Unemployment
4.1%
county unemployment rate · June 2026

The report adds the year-over-year move, plus county employment and wage levels.

BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics, county level, NOT seasonally adjusted. Advisory market context, not a forecast — a county figure does not describe this parcel or its block.

Disaster history
Winter Storm (2026)
most recent federal disaster declaration

The report adds the full declaration history for this county, by type and year.

A federal declaration is a COUNTY-WIDE designation — it means the county was included in a declaration, not that this property was affected. Advisory context only; not an insurance, lending or disclosure document.

Broadband
100%
of homes can get the 100/20 Mbps benchmark · 53% can get gigabit

The report adds the technologies available, fiber share, and provider count.

FCC availability is reported by providers at county level and describes where service is OFFERED, not the speed any one address actually receives.

Who's moving here
+330
net household moves · 2022-2023 · most arrivals from DeKalb County

The report adds the full inflow/outflow split and the top origin counties.

Net movement of tax-filing HOUSEHOLDS between filing years — it counts returns, not people, and misses non-filers. Objective movement counts, never a judgement about who lives where.

Source: IRS Statistics of Income / migration · vintage county_2223
New housing
605
new housing units authorized · 2025

The report adds the three-year permit trend and the single-vs-multifamily split.

Units AUTHORIZED by permit, county-wide — not units completed, and not a forecast. Permits lapse; some of these are never built.

Source: Building Permits Survey (BPS) · vintage 2025
Population change
+1,905
net population change · 2025

The report adds the split into natural change versus net migration, over several years.

Census Bureau estimate of net change for the whole county in one year. Advisory context, not a forecast.
