Sandy Springs, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Sandy Springs city is a mid-size city in Georgia, with 107,198 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #8 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 37.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Sandy Springs city earn a median of $101,593 a year, 29.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 77% above 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 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sandy Springs city is valued at $583,900, 92.5% above the national figure and 205% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,789 a month, 27.2% above the national figure, or roughly $21,468 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 50.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
