Augusta-Richmond County, GA (ZIP 30905) sits in Richmond County within the Augusta-Richmond County metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 16.1%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 9 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,414. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $45,867 per tax return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $92,646 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. The CDC SVI flags racial & ethnic minority (71th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 40th-percentile score. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was winter storm-related (SEVERE WINTER STORM, 2026). County Health Rankings reports 14,036 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 47.6% 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 $45,867 would pay roughly $1,483/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Columbia County, GA (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). 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 $69,511 and fair market rent of $1,890 for a two-bedroom. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
