The mission of the Housing and Demographics Research Center at The University of Georgia is to provide sound housing research, promote a more rational regulatory environment for the building community, and disseminate research findings to policy-makers, interested parties and the general public. The Center offers several services that provide information about Georgia families and communities. The Georgia County Guide is available in print and as a computer database.
