Druid Hills, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Druid Hills CDP is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 8,278 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #131 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 37.9 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 Druid Hills CDP earn a median of $140,466 a year, 78.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 145% 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Druid Hills CDP is valued at $790,900, 160.7% above the national figure and 313% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,012 a month, 43.1% above the national figure, or roughly $24,144 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 59.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
