ZIP 30177 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 30177 is a very small community in Pickens County, Georgia, with 710 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #659 of 751 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 61.6 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 ZIP 30177 earn a median of not published a year. 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 13.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 30177 is valued at $216,500, 28.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 78.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 61.6 puts ZIP 30177 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 710 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 30177 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for ZIP 30177 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

Reading ZIP 30177 in context

Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $216,500, 24% below the county figure and 11% above the statewide ZIP median.

Georgia charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 30177 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 30177 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.
