Carlton, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Carlton city is a very small community in Georgia, with 329 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #549 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 33.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Carlton city earn a median of not published a year. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Carlton city is valued at $199,000, 34.4% below the national figure and 4% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,250 a month, 11.1% below the national figure, or roughly $15,000 across a full year. 72.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld household income for Carlton city 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.
