Bolingbroke, Georgia

Monroe County, Georgia · Population 497

Bolingbroke sits in the rolling Piedmont of central Georgia, tucked into Monroe County along the I-75 corridor between Macon and Forsyth. It is a census-designated place, not an incorporated municipality — a quiet residential enclave rather than a town with a downtown. The nearest city of any size is Forsyth, the Monroe County seat, just a few miles north. Macon, the regional hub for healthcare, employment, and commerce, lies roughly 20 miles to the south. Bolingbroke's character is defined by what it lacks: congestion, rental housing, and transience. The people here own their homes, skew older, and most commute out for work. It functions as a settled, stable pocket of Monroe County rather than a place with its own economic engine.

People & Demographics

The ACS 2022 estimate places Bolingbroke's population at 331 for demographic purposes, within a broader CDP population of 497. The median age is 48.6 — notably older than Georgia's statewide median, which hovers around 37. Of 130 total households, 101 are family households, and the average household size is 2.35. There are 61 children under 18 in the community. Hispanic or Latino residents number 47, representing a meaningful share of the small population. The racial composition, per ACS 2022, is almost entirely white (327 of 331 residents counted).

Economy & Employment

The per capita income in Bolingbroke is $48,089, which runs well above Georgia's statewide per capita income (roughly $35,000–$37,000 range in the same period). The ACS data records zero residents below the poverty line and zero unemployed among the 122 people counted in the labor force — figures that reflect both the small sample size and the community's demographic profile. This is not a working-class town struggling with unemployment; it is a community of established earners, many of whom commute to Macon, Forsyth, or Warner Robins for professional or managerial work.

Housing

Every one of Bolingbroke's 130 housing units is occupied, owner-occupied, and not available for rent. There are zero vacant units and zero rental units in the ACS data. The median home value is $233,300. For context, Monroe County as a whole has a mix of rural and suburban housing stock, but Bolingbroke's numbers reflect a community that settled and stayed — no turnover, no vacancy, no rental market. Anyone moving here is buying.

Schools

Bolingbroke students attend Monroe County Schools. The system operates several campuses serving the full K–12 range:

Monroe County also operates a Department of Corrections educational program at the 9–12 level, serving 84 students. There are no private or charter schools listed in the NCES data for the immediate area. The closest college options require a drive toward Macon or beyond.

Getting Around

Of 122 workers, 98 drove alone to work and 24 worked from home — roughly 20 percent of the workforce, a notable share that reflects national remote-work trends. No residents are recorded as taking public transit, carpooling, or walking to work. Bolingbroke is entirely car-dependent. There is no local bus service. I-75 runs nearby, making the commute to Macon or Forsyth manageable by Middle Georgia standards, but a vehicle is non-negotiable for daily life here.

Healthcare

Monroe County Hospital serves the area. The Monroe County Library's phone listing (478-994-7025) and proximity to Forsyth mean residents are not isolated, but for serious medical care — trauma, surgery, specialty services — Macon's hospital network is the practical destination. Atrium Health Navicent (formerly Medical Center of Central Georgia) in Macon is the regional referral center.

Parks & Recreation

Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, administered by the National Park Service, is approximately 22.8 miles from Bolingbroke via the visitor center. One of the most significant archaeological sites in the eastern United States, the park preserves massive ceremonial mounds built by Indigenous peoples over thousands of years. It sits on the eastern edge of Macon and is a genuine regional asset — accessible in under 30 minutes from Bolingbroke for a day trip. Monroe County's Piedmont landscape also offers access to general outdoor recreation, though no major state parks or campgrounds appear in the immediate CDP data.

Natural Hazards

Monroe County has a substantial FEMA disaster declaration history. The record goes back to at least 2000 and covers a wide range of event types:

The pattern here is worth noting: Monroe County is not in a coastal flood zone, but it sits in a corridor that feels the effects of Gulf and Atlantic hurricanes as they track inland, and it is within Georgia's tornado belt. Winter storms have historically caused enough disruption to trigger federal declarations. Homeowners should carry wind and storm coverage and take inland hurricane warnings seriously — the 2024 Helene declarations are a recent reminder that "inland" does not mean "safe" when a major storm makes landfall.

Government & Municipal Code
