Turin, Georgia

Coweta County, Georgia · Population 347

Turin sits in the western Georgia Piedmont along U.S. Highway 29, roughly 40 miles southwest of Atlanta and about 10 miles north of Newnan. It is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Coweta County — a county that has grown fast in the Atlanta metro's southwestern orbit while Turin itself has stayed small. The town has 347 residents and 144 housing units. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in median income: Turin's households earn well above state and national norms, and its home values are among the highest in the county. This is a quiet, tight-knit community where most people drive to work elsewhere, property ownership is the norm, and the surrounding county provides the schools, hospitals, and commercial infrastructure that the town does not.

People & Demographics

The Census ACS 2022 estimate puts Turin's population at 378, spread across 134 occupied households. The average household size is 2.82 people. About 77 children under 18 live in town — roughly one-fifth of the population — and 107 of the 134 households are family households. The median age is 41.4 years.

Racially, the town is predominantly white (363 of 378 residents), with 13 Black residents and no Asian residents counted in the survey. Twenty residents identify as Hispanic or Latino. These figures reflect a town that is less diverse than Coweta County overall, which at 146,158 people includes a substantially larger share of minority residents.

Twenty-eight residents fall below the federal poverty line. Given the town's high median income, that number is worth noting — it reflects the uneven distribution that comes with small sample sizes in small towns.

Economy & Employment

The median household income in Turin is $139,167 — a figure that places this town well above Georgia's statewide median, which hovers around $65,000, and roughly double the national median. Per capita income stands at $51,966.

Of 204 residents in the labor force, zero are counted as unemployed in the ACS 2022 data. That is a statistical artifact of small-sample surveying, not a literal claim of zero joblessness — but it does reflect a community where most working-age adults are employed. Turin has no significant commercial or industrial base of its own. Residents commute to Newnan, the broader Atlanta metro, or work remotely. Newnan, the Coweta County seat, serves as the economic and employment hub for this part of the region.

Housing

Turin has 144 total housing units, 134 of which are occupied. Ten sit vacant — a 6.9% vacancy rate, modest by rural Georgia standards. Owner-occupied units account for 111 of the 134 occupied homes (83%), while 23 households rent. That ownership rate is high by any measure and reflects the character of the community.

The median home value is $442,700. That is a substantial figure — roughly three times the Georgia statewide median home value. Median rent is $913 per month, which is comparatively modest given the home values, though the renter population is small enough that this figure reflects very few units.
