Cobb County, not Austell
Cobb County context, not Austell figures
These are Cobb County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Austell measurements.
- Establishments in Cobb County22,148
- Employment at those establishments, Cobb County376,117
- Covered employment, Cobb County384,275
- Average annual pay, Cobb County$77,531
- Average weekly wage, Cobb County$1,491
- Housing units permitted, Cobb County1,604
- Of those, single family, Cobb County1,143
- County product, 2024, Cobb County$81,868,771,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cobb County3.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cobb County$75,190
Every figure in this section is published for Cobb County as a whole and is not a measurement of Austell. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Austell questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Austell, Georgia?
8,447, in 3,033 households. Austell city covers 6.37 square miles of land, which is 1,326 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Austell in?
Austell lies in more than one. By area it is 97.0 percent in Cobb County, 3.0 percent in Douglas County. This page sits under Cobb County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Austell?
$72,938. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $284,900. Median gross rent is $1,494 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Austell businesses?
57 7(a) approvals totalling $49.6 m, across 38 lenders, median approval $440,700, plus 5 504 approvals worth $2.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Austell, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Austell borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Austell. only 8 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Austell in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Austell appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130054, carrying Community Rating System class 5, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Austell figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Cobb County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Austell.
Is zoning published for Austell?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
