Loganville, Georgia

Gwinnett County, Georgia · Population 14,127

Loganville sits at the eastern edge of Gwinnett County, roughly 35 miles east of Atlanta, in territory that has spent the last two decades absorbing the outer rings of metro growth. It straddles the Gwinnett-Walton county line — a fact that shapes everything from school zoning to utility service — and functions as a small city with a genuinely walkable historic core surrounded by the subdivisions, strip plazas, and four-lane corridors that define the outer Atlanta suburbs. At 14,127 residents, Loganville is a fraction of Gwinnett County's 957,062, but the school enrollment numbers make clear that this corner of the county is dense with families. This is a place where people come to buy a house, raise children, and commute — and it delivers on those terms better than many towns its size.

People & Demographics

Loganville's 14,287 residents (ACS 2022) skew toward working-age adults and children. The median age is 36.1, younger than the national median, and 3,328 residents — nearly a quarter of the population — are under 18. That family concentration shows in the household structure: of 4,736 occupied households, 3,627 are family households, and the average household size is 3.00 people.

Racially, the city is genuinely diverse. White residents account for 7,141 people; Black residents 5,192; Hispanic or Latino residents 1,822; and Asian residents 472. This mix reflects the broader Gwinnett County pattern, one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the Southeast.

About 1,410 residents live below the poverty line — roughly 10% of the population.

Economy & Employment

Median household income in Loganville is $77,750, a solid figure for a smaller Georgia city and competitive against the broader Gwinnett County context. Per capita income runs $38,677. Of the 7,773 residents in the labor force, 328 are unemployed — an unemployment rate of approximately 4.2%.

Loganville itself is not a major employment center. Most working residents commute into the Gwinnett corridor, Atlanta's eastern suburbs, or the city itself. The local economy runs on retail, services, and the construction and healthcare sectors that support fast-growing outer suburbs.

Housing

With 5,096 total housing units and only 360 vacant, Loganville's housing market is tight. Owner-occupied units number 3,243; renters occupy 1,493. That 68% ownership rate reflects the suburb-and-family character of the city.

The median home value is $268,700 — meaningful buying power compared to closer-in Atlanta suburbs where comparable homes push well above $400,000. Median rent runs $1,448 per month, which is mid-range for the metro but increasingly out of reach for lower-wage households, given that 1,410 residents fall below the poverty line.

Schools

Loganville is served primarily by Gwinnett County Public Schools, one of the largest school systems in Georgia. The schools serving this area carry substantial enrollment, reflecting the density of school-age families in the corridor:

High Schools - Grayson High School — Grades 9–12 — 3,284 students - Loganville High School — Grades 9–12 — 1,808 students - Walnut Grove High School — Grades 9–12 — 1,450 students

Middle Schools - McConnell Middle School — Grades 6–8 — 2,176 students - Loganville Middle School — Grades 6–8 — 1,320 students - Grace Snell Middle School — Grades 6–8 — 1,268 students - Youth Middle School — Grades 6–8 — 1,236 students

Elementary Schools - Cooper Elementary — PreK–5 — 1,447 students - Magill Elementary — PreK–5 — 1,274 students - Loganville Elementary — PreK–5 — 1,033 students - Rosebud Elementary — PreK–5 — 987 students - Youth Elementary — PreK–5 — 784 students - Sharon Elementary — PreK–5 — 733 students - Bay Creek Elementary — PreK–5 — 715 students

These enrollment numbers are not small-town figures. Grayson High School alone enrolls more than 3,200 students. Families moving here should verify attendance zones carefully — the Gwinnett-Walton county line runs through the area and can affect assignments.

Getting Around

Loganville is a car-dependent community. Of 7,230 workers, 5,604 drive alone. Another 834 carpool. Zero workers commute by public transit. Eight walk to work. Working from home accounts for 683 residents — nearly 9.5% of the workforce, a notable shift.

Total aggregate commute time across all workers is 287,835 minutes. That averages to roughly 40 minutes per commuting worker each way — a real cost of living this far out on the metro fringe. Highway 78 is the primary artery connecting Loganville westward into the Gwinnett corridor and onward to Atlanta.

Healthcare

The nearest hospital network includes Northside Hospital Gwinnett, Piedmont Eastside Medical Center, and Northside Hospital Duluth, all within the Gwinnett County system. Emory Johns Creek Hospital serves the northern quadrant of the metro. SummitRidge Center in Lawrenceville provides psychiatric and addictive medicine services. None of these facilities are in Loganville itself — residents travel west into the Gwinnett core for hospital-level care.

Local provider listings can be searched through the NPI Registry.

Library

The O'Kelly Memorial Library (770-466-2895) serves Loganville as part of the Gwinnett County Public Library system. It is the community's primary public library resource for residents of all ages.

Parks & Recreation

Three National Park Service sites are accessible within reasonable driving distance:

• Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area — a series of river access points and trail units along the Chattahoochee, with the Island Ford Visitor Center approximately 26.6 miles from Loganville

• Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park — Atlanta, approximately 27.6 miles, documenting the life and legacy of Dr. King in his birth neighborhood

• Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park — approximately 40.3 miles, preserving the Civil War battlefield northwest of Atlanta with extensive hiking trails

Natural Hazards

Gwinnett County has accumulated a substantial FEMA declaration record. The hazards that have hit this county span nearly five decades:

• Severe winter storms — declared in 1993, 2000, 2014, and 2026. The 2014 event paralyzed metro Atlanta. Winter storms are a recurring and underestimated hazard.

• Severe storms and flooding — declared in 1998 and 2009. Flash flooding is a real risk across low-lying areas of Gwinnett.

• Hurricanes — Opal (1995), Irma (2017), and Helene (2024) all generated county-level emergency or disaster declarations. Inland Georgia takes more hurricane impact than most people expect.

• COVID-19 pandemic — dual declarations in March 2020.

• Hurricane Katrina evacuation — a 2005 declaration reflecting Gwinnett's role in housing evacuees from the Gulf Coast.

• Drought — a 1977 declaration, the oldest on record here.

Residents should maintain flood awareness and winter storm preparedness. The county's geography makes both credible threats.
