There’s no denying it: there are plenty of places in Georgia that are downright beautiful and full of excitement.
Unfortunately, not all towns and cities in Peach State are so lucky.
Just like in all U.S. States, there are definitely some boring places within Georgia’s’ borders. You know the places where everyone has an AARP card and the most exciting thing they do all day is post a picture of their grandchild on Facebook.
Like Glennville, for instance. In our latest analysis, we found that this city was the most boring city in all of Oklahoma according to Saturday Night Science. But don’t feel bad if you’re a resident of Glennville. There are plenty of other boring, lackluster places in Georgia as well.
Here they are. Try not to jump out of your seat with excitement.

Don’t freak out, in fact, believe it not, a boring city is actually one a lot of people would like to call home.
Before you get all upset if your city’s name is on the list, rest assured that we didn’t use personal opinion when it comes to what classifies a city or town as “boring” or “exciting”. We crunched actual numbers to figure out which towns are statistically more boring.
Showing this data to you is the kind of thing that a real estate agent knows, but would never share.

Methodology: How we determined the boring cities in the Peach State
You would present the following case to your friends if you were argueing with them at a bar about the most boring place to live in Georgia. And that’s why we call it Saturday Night Science.
Because our data speaks more truth than feelings.
To figure out how boring a place is, we factored in things we generally think make people exciting, and then we figure out which cities have the least number of those exciting people.
We used the U.S. American Community Census data to gather the information presented here. HSome of the things people tend to think of as making a city’s population boring include:
- % of Population Over 25 (higher is more boring)
- % of Married Household (higher is more boring)
- Average Age (higher is more boring)
- % of Households With Kids (higher is more boring)
- Population density (lower is more boring)
Then, our algorithm generates a ranking for each place in these categories. After crunching the numbers, all of the cities ranked from most boring to most exciting.
For this ranking, we used every Georgia city with at least 5,000 residents. This keeps us from prejudicing our rankings by including very small pockets of retired people.
Grab your rocker and hold on.
We updated this article for 2025, and it’s our tenth time ranking the most boring cities in Georgia.
There You Have It – Now That You’re Asleep
On a ranking like this, there are usually no winners, but since Georgia isn’t necessarily the most boring state in the United States, the cities on this ranking can at least take solace that there are, in fact, more boring cities in the country.
The most boring cities in Georgia are Glennville, Bremen, Tyrone, Eatonton, Jesup, Rockmart, Senoia, Sylvester, Commerce, and Covington.

While I agree with the rankings, I wholeheartedly disagree with the algorithm. What a crock! Just because a person is older or married doesn’t mean they’re boring.
You should have looked for factors like the amount of cultural events, how many people actually have a passport and travel, how involved in the arts is the community in general, the number of exciting outdoor venues there are (hiking trails, etc.), the percentage of unique small businesses and restaurants vs. big box corporate chains. I could give you an extensive list of better indicators for how much fun a place can be.
I can also list a few no brainers for boredom indicators, like how oppresively religious or uber conservative a place tends to be.
Take a look, and try again, instead of assuming that older and/or married people are boring. I’ll tell you, I didn’t really become that interesting until I reached my 40s, because I was too preoccupied with being a shallow flaky little 20 something, who believed I wasn’t really having fun until I was wasted at some dumb nightclub and fretting over guys and all that other stupid drama from my youth.
YEAH!
