Hancock County, not Sparta
Hancock County context, not Sparta figures
These are Hancock County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sparta measurements.
- Establishments in Hancock County71
- Employment at those establishments, Hancock County677
- Covered employment, Hancock County1,456
- Average annual pay, Hancock County$44,202
- Average weekly wage, Hancock County$850
- Housing units permitted, Hancock County28
- Of those, single family, Hancock County28
- County product, 2024, Hancock County$202,072,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hancock County-0.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hancock County$69,780
Every figure in this section is published for Hancock County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sparta. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- 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
Sparta questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Sparta, Georgia?
1,830, in 659 households. Sparta city covers 1.81 square miles of land, which is 1,010 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Sparta in?
Hancock County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Is Sparta in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Sparta appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 135275, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Sparta figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Hancock 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 Sparta.
Is zoning published for Sparta?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
