Analysis# Georgia Population Analysis
Georgia's population of 11.14 million in 2024 reflects sustained expansion, with 15% growth over the past decade translating to approximately 1.45 million new residents since 2014. As the nation's 8th most populous state, Georgia's growth trajectory peaked during the 2000s, indicating that current expansion, while substantial, has moderated from that earlier boom period. The 124-year dataset suggests Georgia has shifted from a regional economy to a major population center, driven primarily by Atlanta's metropolitan expansion and in-migration.
