How many people live in Satilla, and is it growing?
The 2020 Census counted 487 residents in Satilla, a full count rather than a sample. The 2020-2024 American Community Survey, a sample, estimates 1,057 (±503).

How reliable are the figures for Satilla?
31 of the 54 figures for Satilla on this page carry a coefficient of variation over 40% and are marked with a ring: they come from a small sample, so read them as rough.
The American Community Survey samples about one household in eight over five years, so every figure is an estimate with a 90% margin of error (shown under each value). A ring marks an estimate whose coefficient of variation is over 40%. A change is called only when the gap between the two periods is larger than their combined 90% margin (the square root of the sum of the two squared margins), the Census Bureau's test.
