Ball Ground, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Ball Ground city is a small town in Georgia, with 2,665 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #254 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Ball Ground city earn a median of $112,585 a year, 43.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 96% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 3.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ball Ground city is valued at $346,800, 14.3% above the national figure and 81% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,381 a month, 1.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,572 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
