ZIP code 30096

ZIP 30096 is a small city in Gwinnett County, Georgia, with 71,141 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #9 of 751 ranked by population — larger than 98% 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 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 ZIP 30096 earn a median of $75,478 a year, 3.9% below the national figure of $78,538. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 30096 is valued at $342,700, 13% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,741 a month, 23.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,892 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.7% 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 43.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.

ZIP 30096 is tabulated inside Gwinnett County, Georgia, one of 16 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 751 across Georgia. This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 30096 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 30096 reports a median household income of $75,478, 16% below the $90,277 county median, and 23% above the $61,524 typical GA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $342,700, close to the county figure and 76% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,741 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Georgia charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 30096 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 30096 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
