Musella, Georgia

Crawford County, Georgia · Population 104

Musella is a small census-designated place in Crawford County, tucked into the peach-country landscape of middle Georgia. It sits roughly 20 miles southeast of Macon and about 10 miles north of Roberta, the Crawford County seat. The surrounding region is agricultural, unhurried, and rural — Crawford County itself holds just over 12,000 people, and Musella represents one of its smallest recognized communities. The CDP designation reflects a settled cluster rather than an incorporated town, meaning there is no standalone city government, and residents look to the county for most public services.

People & Demographics

The ACS 2022 estimates place Musella's population at 125, with a median age of 35.9. Every resident identified in the survey data is Black; no White, Asian, or Hispanic/Latino population was recorded. The household structure is unusual by any measure: 10 households are counted, all family households, with an average household size of 12.5 — a figure that reflects either group living arrangements or a small-sample statistical artifact typical of very small CDPs. No children under 18 were recorded in the B09001 table. Crawford County's overall population of 12,130 offers a broader demographic anchor for the area.

Economy & Employment

Per capita income in Musella is $18,975, based on ACS 2022 data. The median household income field returned an invalid figure and is not reported here. Of 79 people counted in the labor force, 46 were recorded as unemployed — an unemployment count that is strikingly high relative to the labor force and again likely reflects the challenges of drawing reliable estimates from a population this small. Zero residents were counted below the poverty line in the B17001 table. The broader Crawford County economy is agricultural and light-industrial, with many working residents commuting toward Macon or Warner Robins for employment.

Housing

Musella has 10 housing units, all occupied, with zero vacancies. Every occupied unit is renter-occupied — there are no owner-occupied homes recorded in the ACS 2022 data. Median home value and median gross rent both returned invalid data values and are not reported. The county-level housing market provides the nearest useful comparison: Crawford County as a whole has a mix of rural homeowners and modest rental stock typical of small Georgia counties.

Schools

Children in Musella are served by Crawford County Schools, a single-district system based in Roberta. The system operates four schools:

Total district enrollment across all four schools is approximately 1,562 students. There are no schools physically located within the Musella CDP itself.

Getting Around

Macon, roughly 20 miles north via US-80 and connecting routes, is the nearest city with significant employment, retail, and services.

Named Atlantic storms tracking inland through the Gulf Coast corridor are the dominant hazard. Residents should maintain readiness for wind damage, flooding, and occasional severe winter conditions.
