Roopville, Georgia

Carroll County, Georgia · Population 231

Roopville sits in the rural southwestern corner of Carroll County, roughly equidistant between Carrollton to the northeast and the Alabama state line to the west. It is one of Georgia's smallest incorporated towns — 231 residents by recent count, compressed into a tight community where the average household holds nearly four people and children make up a third of the population. The nearest metro context is the Atlanta exurban sprawl, but Roopville itself has little of that energy. It is a small-town Georgia place in the fullest sense: low vacancy, high household density, and a median age of 29.2 that skews younger than almost anywhere in Carroll County.

People & Demographics

The ACS 2022 estimates put Roopville's population at 423 — a figure that reflects the survey's margin-of-error range around the official 231 count. By any measure, this is one of Carroll County's smallest communities, set against a county population of 119,148.

The population skews remarkably young. The median age is 29.2, driven by 140 children under 18 living in just 113 households. Average household size is 3.74, well above typical Georgia figures. Of 113 total households, 86 are family households.

Racially, 367 residents identify as white, 51 as Black, and 13 as Hispanic or Latino. No Asian residents were recorded.

Economy & Employment

The labor force numbers 140 people, with zero recorded unemployment — a figure that reflects both the small sample size and the survey period. Of 20 residents counted below the poverty line, that represents a meaningful share of a community this size.

Median household income sits at $73,594, which compares favorably against Georgia's statewide median and suggests that working households here are pulling solid wages, likely commuting to employment centers in Carrollton or Villa Rica. Per capita income of $24,384 is more modest, reflecting the large household sizes and the number of children in the population.

Housing

Every one of Roopville's 113 housing units is occupied — zero vacancy. That is an unusual figure for rural Georgia and points to a stable, rooted population rather than a place experiencing decline.

Owner-occupied units number 61; renter-occupied, 52. The split is nearly even. Median home value is $148,400, which is affordable relative to statewide Georgia figures and substantially below Atlanta-area markets. Median rent of $1,167 is notable for a town this rural — renters here are paying rates closer to small-city Georgia than deep-rural.

Schools

Two elementary schools serve this area:

Both are part of Carroll County Schools. For middle and high school, students are zoned into Carroll County's broader district system, with facilities in and around Carrollton.

Educational attainment among adults 25 and older: of 278 residents in that cohort, 158 hold a high school diploma as their highest credential, 37 hold a bachelor's degree, and 8 hold a master's degree.

Getting Around

Roopville is entirely car-dependent. Of 139 workers, 106 drive alone and 29 carpool. No one uses public transit. Four residents work from home.

Aggregate travel time for all workers is 3,050 minutes, which works out to roughly 22 minutes per worker each way — consistent with a commute to Carrollton or Villa Rica rather than Atlanta. There is no local transit infrastructure, and none is proximate.

Natural Hazards

The pattern is clear: Carroll County faces repeated risk from severe winter weather, tropical systems that retain destructive energy well inland, and periodic severe storm and flooding events. Roopville's location in the southwestern part of the county places it in the direct path of systems that track in from the Gulf and Alabama.
