Georgia's Top 10 Richest Counties in 2025: Who Made the Cut?

Georgia's wealthiest counties have been ranked using three key factors: median income, investment income, and median home value. This ranking gives a clear picture of where wealth is growing the fastest in the state. Forsyth County is at the top of the list with a wealth index of 41. 43. This county has the highest median income at $138, 000, the highest investment income at $39, 880, and the highest median home value at $566, 079. It's clear that Forsyth County is leading the way in wealth accumulation. Oconee County is in second place, but it's not as wealthy as Forsyth County. The top 10 counties have been ranked based on their wealth index, which is a combination of the three factors. Not much has changed from the previous year. Fulton County dropped from third to fifth place, even though its median income increased by more than $5, 000. Dawson County and Bryan County swapped places, but both saw slight decreases in investment income and home values. The wealth index is a useful tool for understanding where wealth is concentrated in the U. S. It's important to note that wealth is not evenly distributed, and some counties are accumulating more wealth than others.
