Sums are exact across the city’s ZIP areas. Medians cannot be summed, so each is shown as its range across the ZIP areas that publish one. ACS 2019–2023 five-year estimates by ZIP area. Medians are ZIP-level medians, not averages. An em dash means the Census Bureau publishes no estimate; it never means zero.

New homes

No county of this city reached 2,000 permitted homes over 2023–25, the threshold the map draws.

Building permits are published by county, so these are county figures, not the city’s.

Church health

7 Church of God churches are filed in its ZIP areas.

Every church that could be matched to a state-office report has filed something, or has a dated online presence.

Georgia has no attendance series yet — North Georgia has published two quarters — so no Georgia church can be marked shrinking.

What a city is here. The place name the Postal Service gives a ZIP code, so Douglas is every ZIP area whose mailing city is Douglas — the city everyone means, not the incorporated limits. The score is the population-weighted average of those ZIP areas’ planting scores (86% growth, 14% viability; how near a Church of God church is carries no weight); a plant goes in a ZIP area, and the ranking to plant on is the ZIP area’s own. Church of God counts are the churches filed in those ZIP areas; the rings on each ZIP area still count every church within reach, across city and county lines.
