Gough, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Gough CDP is a very small community in Georgia, with 140 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #628 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 77.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Gough CDP earn a median of $13,826 a year, 82.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 76% below the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 89.3% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gough CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $763 a month, 45.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,156 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 66.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. 10.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

A median age of 77.4 puts Gough CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 140 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Gough CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Gough CDP 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.
