About these figures

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau Bibb County QuickFacts (FIPS 13021) and Georgia QuickFacts. Population, age, sex, and housing-unit estimates use the 2025 Population Estimates Program. ACS figures are 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates, which describe a period rather than a single year. Other measures use the 2020 Census, 2023 County Business Patterns, or 2024 Nonemployer Statistics, as labeled.

Survey estimates have sampling uncertainty; consult Census for methodology and margins of error. Comparisons use matching measures and periods. State totals are shown for context and are not adjusted for population size. Different reference periods should not be treated as a single-year snapshot.

The detailed age bands use Census Vintage 2025 county age and sex estimates. Each share is the age-band count divided by the total population for that geography; Georgia is the sum of its counties. Race and ethnicity use QuickFacts. Poverty rates and 90% confidence intervals use the 2024 SAIPE state and county file (Georgia state code 13, Bibb county code 021). The statewide poverty comparison uses SAIPE too, so it can differ from Georgia QuickFacts.
