Hey, I'm a college student here and With a population of 8,962, Fitzgerald is a small town. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $36,515, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 66--F, so the weather is moderate. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What would you do? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
