Clarke County, Georgia
Clarke County is Georgia's smallest by land area at 119 square miles and is governed as the Athens-Clarke County unified government, with roughly 129,600 residents. The University of Georgia is the economy, and it produces the market's defining feature: a very large student rental base that holds median household income down to $54,000 while median home value sits at $298,900. That income-to-price gap is a student-population artifact, not a distress signal, and any per-household figure for this county should be read with it in mind.
