Edge Hill, Georgia

Glascock County, Georgia · Population 22

Edge Hill sits in the rural heart of Glascock County, one of Georgia's smallest counties by both land and population. The county seat, Gibson, lies roughly a mile and a half to the north. Edge Hill is less a town in the conventional sense and more a small residential cluster — 22 people, nine housing units, and a single ZIP code shared with its neighbors. The nearest metro influence comes from Augusta, about 55 miles to the east. Life here operates at the pace of deep rural Middle Georgia: row crops, pine stands, and the kind of quiet that larger places spend money trying to find.

People & Demographics

The 2022 ACS counted 19 residents in Edge Hill, organized into 6 households. The median age is 41.0 — slightly older than Georgia's statewide median, which reflects the general aging pattern common across rural Glascock County. Average household size is 3.17, which is notably higher than the Georgia average of roughly 2.5, suggesting that the households present are larger family units. All 19 counted residents identified as White. No children under 18 were counted in this survey period.

Glascock County as a whole holds 2,884 residents, making it one of the least populated counties in the state. Edge Hill represents less than 1% of that county total — a hamlet by any measure.

Economy & Employment

Per capita income in Edge Hill is $24,274. The median household income figure is not reported at this population size due to sample constraints. Of the 19 residents aged 25 and older, 14 are counted as being in the labor force, and none are recorded as unemployed — a full employment figure that reflects the small sample rather than a robust local job market.

The working economy here depends heavily on nearby Gibson and the broader Glascock County agricultural base. There are no large employers within Edge Hill itself.

Housing

Edge Hill has 9 total housing units. Six are occupied; 3 are vacant, giving a vacancy rate of 33% — high by any standard, and typical of very small rural Georgia communities where population loss has outpaced housing removal. Of the 6 occupied units, 4 are owner-occupied and 2 are renter-occupied.

Median home value and median rent are not reported for this community due to sample size limitations. For context, Glascock County's rural housing stock generally runs well below Georgia state medians, making it among the more affordable places to own in the state — though economic opportunity and services are correspondingly limited.

Schools

Students in Edge Hill attend Glascock County public schools, which serve the entire county:

Both schools are located in Gibson. The county runs a single consolidated school system, which is standard for rural Georgia counties of this size.

Getting Around

All 14 counted workers in Edge Hill drove alone to work. No carpooling, no public transit, no walking, and no remote work was recorded. This is essentially a car-required community. Public transportation does not serve Glascock County at any meaningful level. Gibson and the surrounding area are reachable within minutes, but Augusta, the nearest significant employment and services hub, requires roughly an hour's drive.

Healthcare

No licensed healthcare providers appear in the CMS NPI registry for Edge Hill specifically. The nearest hospital services are accessed through Augusta's hospital system or through Wrens and Louisville for closer but limited rural options. Residents searching for local providers can query the CMS NPI Registry directly.

The pattern tells a clear story: this part of Georgia sits in the path of Gulf and Atlantic storm systems that track inland, and winter ice events are a recurring disruption. Hurricane Helene's 2024 declarations are particularly recent and relevant — that storm caused significant damage across inland Georgia well beyond the coast.
