ZIP 31069 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 31069 is a mid-size town in Houston County, Georgia, with 22,085 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #196 of 751 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 31069 earn a median of $75,526 a year, 3.8% below the national figure of $78,538. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 31069 is valued at $205,500, 32.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $997 a month, 29.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.8% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
Reading ZIP 31069 in context
How 31069 sits inside Houston County and Georgia.
ZIP 31069 is tabulated inside Houston County, Georgia, one of 8 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 751 across Georgia. This is a mid-sized ZIP that covers a large share of its county's addresses. 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 31069 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.
Against its own county, 31069 reports a median household income of $75,526, 12% below the $85,467 county median, and 23% above the $61,524 typical GA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $205,500, 17% below the county figure and 6% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $997 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 31069 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 31069 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.
Sales tax in 31069
What a purchase inside this ZIP costs at checkout.
Georgia levies 4% statewide, and counties, cities and special districts inside this ZIP can add their own local rate on top. Check the county page for the local component before you quote a price.
Affordability in this ZIP
Derived from the Census medians above — indicative, not an offer.
A rent burden above 30% is the federal threshold for cost-burdened households, and a price-to-income multiple above 4× is generally considered a stretched housing market. The mortgage figure is principal and interest only — taxes, insurance and HOA dues are extra.
