Roswell, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Roswell city is a small city in Georgia, with 92,577 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #9 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 40 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Roswell city earn a median of $124,422 a year, 58.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 117% 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 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Roswell city is valued at $520,500, 71.6% above the national figure and 172% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,707 a month, 21.4% above the national figure, or roughly $20,484 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
