Athens-Clarke County, GA (ZIP 30601) sits in Clarke County within the Athens-Clarke County metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in above the national average at 16.9%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,050. 27% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was winter storm-related (SEVERE WINTER STORM, 2026). Annual precipitation averages 51.8" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 40.0% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Georgia levies a flat state income tax (top rate 5.39%); a household at the local median AGI of $44,373 would pay roughly $1,435/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 1,226 residents (388 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $36,319, fair market rent of $1,430 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $302,240, up 1.8% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
Athens-Clarke County, GA (ZIP 30601) sits in Clarke County within the Athens-Clarke County metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in above the national average at 16.9%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,050. 27% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was winter storm-related (SEVERE WINTER STORM, 2026). Annual precipitation averages 51.8" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 40.0% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Georgia levies a flat state income tax (top rate 5.39%); a household at the local median AGI of $44,373 would pay roughly $1,435/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 1,226 residents (388 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $36,319, fair market rent of $1,430 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $302,240, up 1.8% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,430/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 47% of median household income ($36,319, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (61% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 5 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 23.9%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
