ZIP Code 35611

Around Athens, ZIP code 35611 sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $57,377 and per-capita income of $37,278. Homes here carry a median value of $225,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.32% keeps annual property taxes comparatively low against that value.

Taken together, the area leans toward steady, working- to middle-income households — not affluent, but with enough earning power to support homeownership and everyday spending without an outsized property tax drag.
