The verdict
Texas leads ZIP coverage at 1,935 ZCTAs (#1 of 52). That is not the income board: New Jersey's unweighted average ZIP household income is $121,992 (#1 of 52) on 595 ZCTAs. Georgia sits #17 of 52 by ZIP count at income #38.

ZIP-count and income are separate boards among 52 reporting states and territories. Income is the unweighted mean of each ZIP's ACS 2019–2023 median household income, so a rural code counts the same as a dense metro.
Mid-to-lower income footing ($70,347) on a substantial ZIP map (735 codes · population 9,687,711). Home values average $240,733. Cost-of-living questions belong at county and ZIP scale here: the state average mixes unlike labor markets. Start from the most populous counties, then drop to a thin-edge ZIP to see whether the mean is a real center or a blend.
Population is dispersed across many cities (largest share ~9% in Atlanta). No single metro owns the narrative: scan the largest-cities chart for several peers, then pick counties from different regions before drilling to ZIP detail. Unweighted ZIP averages are especially noisy on this dispersed map.
A mid-breadth ZIP set is small enough that city pages and the top-12 ZIP RankBars cover most contrast. Use county drill-downs when two metros sit in different economic zones; otherwise jump straight from this profile to a ZIP compare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I navigate Georgia's mid-breadth ZIP map?
With 735 ZIPs across 159 counties (population 9,687,711), city pages plus the top ZIP RankBars cover most contrast. Jump to a two-ZIP compare when two metros sit in different labor markets rather than scrolling the full list.
Why is Georgia's average ZIP income a weak relocation signal by itself?
At $70,347, the state mean blends unlike county labor markets (homes average $240,733). Cost-of-living questions belong at county and ZIP scale: start from the most populous counties, then drop to a thin-edge ZIP to see whether the mean is a real center or a blend.
Why doesn't one city define Georgia?
Population is dispersed (largest share ~9% in Atlanta). Scan several peers on the largest-cities chart, then pick counties from different regions before drilling to ZIP detail – unweighted ZIP averages are especially noisy on a dispersed map.
