Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Alpharetta, GA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Alpharetta compares. Among the 100 largest places in Georgia, Alpharetta is #14 by population, #3 for household income (#1 = highest), #4 for remote work (#1 = most), #95 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Fulton County, is #1 of 159 counties for average pay ($100,817).

The place in numbers

Alpharetta has 66,855 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.6% of the population of Georgia. It covers 27 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,485 people per square mile. The median age is 41.3, 10% older than the state median (41.3 against 37.6).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,948 a month (rent plus utilities), 40% above the state median ($1,948 against $1,393). Over a year that is 15.8% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $649,000, which is 4.4 times the median household income ($147,612). 65.1% of households own their home, about the same as the state average (65.1% against 65.7%).

Work and pay

The Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA metropolitan area has 2,889,670 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,170 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,170 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (328,500 jobs, median $47,040); transportation and material moving (313,910 jobs, median $44,120); sales and related (277,630 jobs, median $37,550). The area is most specialised in business and financial operations (1.3 times) and legal (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($130,550) and computer and mathematical ($110,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fulton County was 3.6%. 71.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fulton County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 54.5% drive alone, 0.5% use public transit, 1.8% walk, 36.7% work from home. 18.7% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 6% below the state average (18.7% against 19.8%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

70.7% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 102% above the state share (70.7% against 35.0%). 27.8% of residents were born outside the United States, 149% above the state share (27.8% against 11.2%). The poverty rate is 5.6%, 58% below the state rate (5.6% against 13.4%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 80°F (26.5°C), and the coolest is Jan at 40°F (4.7°C). About 1,292 mm (51 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Oct the driest (88 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Johns Creek (5 miles, rent 16% higher); Roswell (5 miles, rent 7% lower); Milton (6 miles, rent 6% higher); Peachtree Corners (8 miles, rent 13% lower). Rent differences are against Alpharetta; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
