ZIP Code 31539

Households in the 31539 ZIP code, centered on Baxley, earn a median of $38,737, while per-capita income sits at $23,775 — a range that places this area among Georgia's working-class communities rather than its affluent ones. Homes here carry a median value of $119,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.92% translates into a comparatively contained annual bill on that amount. Shoppers, however, pay an 8.00% combined sales tax on purchases. The picture is one of a rural south Georgia town where incomes stay below state norms, housing costs remain within reach of local wages, and consumption taxes take a noticeable share of everyday spending.
