Analysis# Georgia Urban Population
Georgia's urban population reached 61.079% in 2024, marking both its current level and all-time peak. This represents a dramatic 43.3% increase since 1960, when only 42.636% of the population lived in urban areas. Over six decades, Georgia shifted from a predominantly rural nation to one where urban residents comprise nearly two-thirds of the total population.
The acceleration intensified after 2015, when the urban share stood at 57.38%. Year-over-year gains have remained consistent, with the population climbing approximately 0.3-0.7 percentage points annually from 2015 through 2024. Georgia's sustained urbanization trajectory suggests continued growth momentum, reflecting broader regional migration patterns toward cities and economic centers.
