Fairfield Plantation, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Fairfield Plantation CDP is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 6,231 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #148 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 40.8 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 Fairfield Plantation CDP earn a median of $97,133 a year, 23.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 70% 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 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairfield Plantation CDP is valued at $293,100, 3.4% below the national figure and 53% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,652 a month, 17.5% above the national figure, or roughly $19,824 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.4% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.1% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
