Hinesville, GA. Housing

The median home price in Hinesville is $123,200. This is 19% lower than the median home price in other cities in Georgia. Only 44% of the homes are owner-occupied. One reason is the high demand for rental homes caused by the military members and their families who prefer to live off the base. Typical military tours are for two to three years, so there is less interest in buying a home than renting one for those in military service. The median rent is $940. This is only about 5% higher than the rents for a home in other parts of Georgia. Even though the demand is strong for rental homes, there are plenty of them available to rent, so the rents are not too high.

The median household income in Hinesville is about $43,000. This is about 16% lower than the median household income earned in other Georgian communities.
