Candler-McAfee, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Candler-McAfee CDP is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 21,316 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #55 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 42.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Candler-McAfee CDP earn a median of $62,299 a year, 20.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Candler-McAfee CDP is valued at $239,400, 21.1% below the national figure and 25% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,408 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,896 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
