HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. — With the official 2020 Census results still pending, the latest estimate puts Houston County's population at 160,110 people. That's the highest it's ever been.
The numbers show that Houston County's population has increased by nearly 15% over the last 10 years.
The new faces include Sara Kooiman-Bode, her husband, and their five children. Her husband's construction job brought them to Bonaire.
“It's amazing. We've only been here for a year-and-a-half,” she said.
She says it's been easy to slide into the area.
