Where Does The Plath Family From Welcome To Plathville Really Live?

When "Welcome to Plathville" first aired back in 2019, viewers were under the impression that the Plath family, consisting of Barry and Kim Plath and their nine children, lived on a farm in rural South Georgia, which was conducive to the family's fundamentalist Christian views and allowed the parents to keep their children isolated from the outside world.

However, The Sun revealed that in the beginning of Season 2, Kim broke the news that the family had, in fact, moved away from the farm and were living in the town of Cairo, which is close to the Florida border and isn't at all off the beaten path. According to the town's webpage on Explore Georgia, Cairo features plenty to do, including downtown shopping, a cinema, a library, public parks, and even a museum. 

Kim claimed that the family's intention wasn't to move, but simply to find another property to invest in. The Sun quotes Kim, "We moved off the farm and into a beautiful house in Cairo ... We were looking for another house as an investment property." Kim added that they "fell in love" with the Cairo house and decided to stay. The Cinemaholic reported that the Plaths actually bought the Cairo property back in 2017, which was before the show began and has since raised questions about its integrity. The farm where the family was originally living is now featured on Airbnb, going for $125 a night, as per The Sun.
