Hiram, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Hiram city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 5,073 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #169 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 33.8 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 Hiram city earn a median of $80,278 a year, 2.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hiram city is valued at $236,700, 22% below the national figure and 24% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,043 a month, 45.3% above the national figure, or roughly $24,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Hiram city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 30.5% of median income while homes cost only 2.9× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.
