About 762 Area Code:
Sports, money and poverty. These are the themes that seem to dominate news headlines from this area code over the past few years. Of course there were many highlights in this region, known for its Southern charm and innovations in science, technology and manufacturing. But there’s no question that the Covid-19 pandemic left a lasting impact that exacerbated existing social issues in the major cities in this area code: Augusta, Macon and Athens. Augusta is known for its diverse economic base, including healthcare, manufacturing, and military sectors. Augusta University, a major research institution, plays a key role in the local economy, particularly through its medical school and health system. However, in 2020, it suffered a major blow when the Augusta National Golf Club’s Masters Tournament was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and held in November 2020 – but without patrons. This left a $100 million gap in the local economy.
Macon, historically an important transportation and manufacturing hub, faced significant challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically in Macon-Bibb County. The local government and health officials worked extensively on managing the public health crisis, including vaccine distribution and economic support measures. The pandemic had a notable impact on the city’s healthcare system and economy. Macon-Bibb County is a high-poverty area. Its concentrated poverty rate rose to 44.7 percent between 2010 and 2016 – versus a national poverty rate of about 11 percent. Thankfully, the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team gave the entire region a cause for celebration in 2022, when they won the national championship, marking a major event in the city of Athens, which thrives on its education sector. The victory in college football generated substantial local pride and economic activity. Football revenue rose by about $30 million that fiscal year.
