ATHENS
The Athens-Clarke County metro area’s public sector is doing the heavy lifting for a strong local economy. After falling to a multi-year low in 2015, payrolls are closing in on historic highs. Private services are likewise lending more support after faltering toward the end of last year. The jobless rate is once again below 5 percent, a cyclical low, but is still above pre-recession levels. Still, income growth is robust, outpacing the strong Georgia average. The strong labor market is propelling the housing recovery; price growth is above average, and builders are responding by raising residential construction.
The demographic data for the neighborhood indicates growth in both population and households since 2010; a trend that is expected to continue. The neighborhood currently has a middle-income demographic profile. Given the observed demographic trends, the neighborhood should continue to grow at a moderate pace.
