Georgia is holding well over a billion dollars in unclaimed property, and it is not spread evenly — it concentrates where people, banks, and employers are. The table below is computed from the Georgia Department of Revenue’s own weekly file (currently the file dated 2026-07-27), counting property worth more than $500 — the band that requires an actual claim. Each city links to a detailed page with the typical amount, the largest record, and the companies that reported the money.

|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta | 133,194 | $349,288,439 | $1,035 |
