Centerville, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Centerville city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 8,323 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #130 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 38.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Centerville city earn a median of $81,233 a year, 3.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Centerville city is valued at $204,300, 32.7% below the national figure and 7% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,115 a month, 20.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,380 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
