Clyattville, Georgia
Lowndes County, Georgia · Population 552
Clyattville sits in the far south of Georgia, tucked into Lowndes County just a few miles from the Florida state line and roughly 10 miles south of Valdosta. It is a census-designated place — not an incorporated city — which means Valdosta functions as the practical hub for nearly everything: shopping, healthcare, employment, and most government services. The surrounding landscape is flat South Georgia pine country, and the community itself is small enough that its 552 residents are neighbors in the most literal sense. Clyattville is a place people live quietly while connecting outward to Valdosta's larger economy and institutions.
People & Demographics
The ACS 2022 survey of Clyattville's CDP boundary counted 283 residents across 151 households. The median age of 29.3 is notably young — well below what is typical for rural Georgia communities. Average household size comes in at 1.87 people, and the population includes 127 children under 18, a substantial share for a community this size. All 283 surveyed residents identified as white alone. Lowndes County as a whole holds 118,251 people, making Clyattville a small rural pocket within a mid-sized county anchored by Valdosta.
Economy & Employment
The median household income in Clyattville is $70,152, and per capita income sits at $30,698. Of the 137 residents counted in the labor force, zero were recorded as unemployed in the ACS survey period — a figure that reflects the small sample size as much as local conditions. Zero residents fell below the poverty line in the same data. These numbers compare favorably to many rural Georgia communities, though the working population largely commutes out to Valdosta and the broader Lowndes County job market rather than finding employment within Clyattville's own borders.
Valdosta State University — reachable at (229) 333-5800 — anchors a portion of the regional economy and represents the nearest four-year institution for residents considering higher education or university-sector employment.
Housing
All 151 housing units in Clyattville are occupied — a zero vacancy rate that reflects either a very tight local market or the limitations of small-sample census estimates. The split between owners and renters is nearly even: 77 units are owner-occupied and 74 are renter-occupied. Median home value and median rent figures are not available from the ACS data for this CDP. Residents looking for housing cost benchmarks should reference Valdosta and the broader Lowndes County market, where Clyattville's homes effectively compete.

Lowndes County has a long and serious record of federally declared disasters. Since 1998, the county has been named in 15 FEMA declarations, spanning hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, flooding, and straight-line wind events. Recent major events include:
- Hurricane Helene (2024) — both a major disaster declaration (DR-4830) and an emergency declaration (EM-3616)
- Tropical Storm Debby (2024) — disaster declaration (DR-4821) and emergency declaration (EM-3607)

The county also participated in Hurricane Katrina evacuation operations in 2005 (EM-3218). For a community this close to the Florida state line, tropical weather is not a rare disruption — it is a recurring feature of life. Residents should maintain readiness plans for both wind and flooding events.
