Buckhead town, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Buckhead town is a very small community in Georgia, with 223 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #587 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 Buckhead town earn a median of $85,625 a year, 9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 49% 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 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Buckhead town is valued at $197,600, 34.9% below the national figure and 3% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 94.3% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 223 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Buckhead town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Buckhead town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
