ZIP code 30183

ZIP 30183 is a mid-size town in Cherokee County, Georgia, with 6,320 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #365 of 751 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 50.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in ZIP 30183 earn a median of $93,250 a year, 18.7% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 30183 is valued at $427,800, 41% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,356 a month, 3.6% below the national figure, or roughly $16,272 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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 50.7 puts ZIP 30183 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.

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.

Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. 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 30183 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 30183 reports a median household income of $93,250, 12% below the $105,395 county median, and 52% above the $61,524 typical GA ZIP.

Georgia charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 30183 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 30183 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.
