Midway is a very small coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 2,253 people and three associated neighborhoods, Midway is the 256th largest community in Georgia. Midway has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Midway, where the median household income is $74,375.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.19% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One of the nice things about Midway is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

One downside of living in Midway is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Midway, the average commute to work is 32.71 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Being a small city, Midway does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The percentage of adults in Midway who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 20.66% of the adults in Midway have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Midway in 2022 was $33,399, which is upper middle income relative to Georgia, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $133,596 for a family of four. However, Midway contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
