Lumpkin, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Lumpkin city is a very small community in Georgia, with 815 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #422 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 35 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Lumpkin city earn a median of $24,107 a year, 69.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 58% below 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 29.1% 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 Lumpkin city is valued at $65,000, 78.6% below the national figure and 66% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 43.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 815 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lumpkin city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Lumpkin city 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.
