Athens has lower-than-average household income, with a median household income of $34,413. Population has grown 22% since 1990. Median home value has risen by half since 1990, reaching $104,024. At a median age of 29.4, residents skew younger than the country as a whole. The poverty rate of 21.1% is well above the national figure. 33% of adults hold a bachelor's degree, well above the US average, yet household income trails the national figure — a profile common to graduate-student tracts and academic hubs.
