Orchard Hill, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Orchard Hill town is a very small community in Georgia, with 150 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #624 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 36.3 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 Orchard Hill town earn a median of $34,375 a year, 56.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orchard Hill town is valued at $65,000, 78.6% below the national figure and 66% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $893 a month, 36.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,716 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.2% 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 1.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 51.6% 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.

Orchard Hill town is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 31.2% of median income while homes cost only 1.9× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 150 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Orchard Hill town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
