Sasser, GA population, income and ZIP codes

Sasser town is a very small community in Georgia, with 267 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #570 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 52.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sasser town earn a median of $27,169 a year, 65.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 53% 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 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sasser town is valued at $106,700, 64.8% below the national figure and 44% below the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $483 a month, 65.6% below the national figure, or roughly $5,796 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

A median age of 52.3 puts Sasser town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 267 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Sasser town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
