Flemington, Georgia

Liberty County, Georgia · Population 1,202

Flemington sits in Liberty County in coastal Georgia, about halfway between Savannah and Brunswick along the I-95 corridor. It is a small city — tight enough that 390 housing units cover the whole town — but it punches above its size in economic terms. The median household income here runs to $99,063, a figure that reflects the gravitational pull of nearby Fort Stewart, the U.S. Army's largest installation east of the Mississippi. Military families shape nearly everything in this corner of Georgia: household size, income, age, and churn. The median age is 32.9. There are 327 children under 18 in a population of 1,202. This is a young town, and it moves at the pace of PCS orders.

People & Demographics

Flemington's 1,202 residents live in 333 occupied households, with an average household size of 3.61 — well above typical Georgia averages, consistent with military family demographics. The racial composition reflects Liberty County's diversity: 505 residents identify as Black, 361 as white, 70 as Asian, and 270 as Hispanic or Latino. Family households account for 290 of the 333 total occupied units. The county itself holds 65,256 residents, so Flemington is a small node within a larger military-adjacent community that includes Hinesville as the county seat and primary commercial center.

Economy & Employment

The $99,063 median household income stands in sharp contrast to Georgia's statewide median, which runs considerably lower, and it places Flemington well above Liberty County's own average. Per capita income is $33,145 — the gap between household and per capita figures reflects large household sizes rather than concentrated wealth. Of 1,202 residents, 543 are in the labor force and 21 are unemployed, an unemployment rate of roughly 3.9%. Only 67 residents fall below the poverty line, one of the lower poverty rates achievable for a community this size in rural Georgia. Fort Stewart drives civilian employment across the county through direct federal jobs, contractor positions, and the full service economy that surrounds any major installation.

Housing

Flemington has 390 total housing units, of which 333 are occupied and 57 sit vacant — a vacancy rate of about 14.6%. Owner-occupied units number 266; renters occupy 67. That 80/20 owner-renter split is high and again mirrors military homeownership patterns, though rental demand near Fort Stewart can be intense during peak assignment seasons. The median home value is $226,200. Median rent is $1,250 per month. Both figures are moderate compared to coastal Georgia markets like Savannah or Brunswick, making Flemington one of the more accessible entry points into homeownership in this region.

Schools

Flemington students attend Liberty County School System schools, a district that operates across the county and serves a sizable enrollment base shaped by Fort Stewart's population. Schools serving this community include:

The county runs two high schools and multiple elementary and middle campuses to accommodate a district population that experiences significant annual turnover due to military reassignments.

Getting Around

Of 511 workers, 466 drive alone to work — 91.2% of the workforce. Sixteen carpool. Zero use public transit. Zero walk. Twenty-seven work from home. The aggregate travel time across all workers is 15,000 minutes, putting the average one-way commute at roughly 29 minutes. Hinesville and Fort Stewart are the primary destinations. A car is not optional in Flemington; it is the only practical mode of transportation.

Healthcare

Liberty Regional Medical Center serves the civilian population of Liberty County and is the primary hospital for Flemington residents. Fort Stewart's Winn Army Community Hospital serves active-duty personnel and eligible beneficiaries on the installation. Neither facility carries a CMS star rating in the available data. For a directory of individual healthcare providers in Flemington, the CMS NPI Registry provides a searchable list of licensed practitioners by city.

Parks & Recreation

Two National Park Service units sit within reasonable day-trip range of Flemington. Fort Frederica National Monument, a colonial-era British fort on St. Simons Island, has a visitor center 43.3 miles away. Fort Pulaski National Monument, guarding the mouth of the Savannah River, has a visitor center 42.4 miles out. Both reflect the deep military and colonial history that runs through coastal Georgia — a thread that connects to Fort Stewart's own significance as the Army's largest eastern installation.

Natural Hazards

Liberty County's FEMA disaster history is extensive and weighted heavily toward tropical weather. The county has been included in federal disaster and emergency declarations going back to 1998:

Two major storm declarations in 2024 alone underscore that this is active hurricane country. Residents should maintain preparedness supplies and understand evacuation routes — Liberty County sits in a zone where named storms are not rare events but recurring facts of life.
