The document provides demographic data from the 2020 US Census for the state of Georgia and various counties and cities within the state. Some key points:
- Forsyth County saw the highest population growth rate from 2010-2020 at 43.2%, well above the next highest county.
- The non-Hispanic white population share has declined in most counties over the past decade, with only 3 counties remaining majority white.
- The Asian population has grown the fastest of the major racial groups, reaching nearly 8% of the region's population and as high as 18% in Forsyth County.
The population of the 10-county Atlanta region grew to 4,628,400 in 2019, an increase of 72,500 people from 2018. This represents slower growth than the previous two years. From 2018 to 2019, Fulton County saw the largest growth of 16,700 new residents. Overall, the region continues to experience population increases, though the pace of growth is moderating as job growth has slowed. Multi-family development continues to fuel significant population increases in the City of Atlanta.
Final ARC 2020 Population Estimates-Summary DeckARCResearch
The Atlanta region grew by 63,600 people between 2019 and 2020 to a total population of 4,692,000 according to new estimates. This represents slower growth than in previous years, likely due to a slowdown in job growth. Gwinnett County saw the largest increase of 15,500 new residents. Population growth has slowed in the City of Atlanta as well, with 7,700 new residents compared to over 10,000 the prior year. Overall, residential building permits in the region declined from the previous year, remaining below pre-recession levels. The 2020 Census data may supersede these estimates and is expected to show impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on population trends.
Pop estimates 2018_to_post_online_finalARCResearch
The Atlanta region population grew by 75,800 people from 2017 to 2018, a slower rate than the previous year but still strong. Fulton County saw the largest growth at 17,570 new residents. Building permit levels, while down from the previous two years, are recovering from post-recession lows. Most new residential development is occurring in the northern suburbs, while the city of Atlanta is experiencing increased density through multi-family development.
RS June 2021: Neighborhood Change Dynamics UpdatedARCResearch
The document analyzes demographic shifts in census tracts in the 20-county Atlanta region from 2000 to 2019. It finds that 53% of census tracts experienced some form of change over this period. 12% saw significant population growth, with higher incomes and more racial/ethnic diversity. 28% saw increased poverty concentration, with lower incomes and more diversity. The regions saw the most population growth in outer suburbs and northern Atlanta, while population declined mostly in southern Atlanta. Areas of poverty concentration were widespread in the inner suburbs, while poverty displacement was concentrated in central Atlanta.
Population Estimates, August 2015 SnapshotARCResearch
The Atlanta region population grew by 60,300 people between 2014 and 2015 to a total of 4,332,600 residents in 2015. Gwinnett County had the largest growth over this period, adding 15,700 new residents. While population growth has rebounded since 2010, the annual growth rate remains below historical levels from 1990 to 2010. Residential building permits, a key indicator of future population growth, have also remained well below their 30-year average of 35,000 permits per year. Areas with high concentrations of new residential building permits, especially single family homes, correspond to areas experiencing the greatest population increases per square mile between 2010 and 2015.
This document summarizes recent population trends in Illinois based on Census Bureau data. It finds that:
- Illinois has experienced a net population loss over the last decade, losing over 159,000 residents between 2010-2019, while neighboring states like Indiana and Minnesota have grown.
- Both rural and urban areas of Illinois have seen population declines, with the Chicago metro area losing over 94,000 residents between 2013-2018, an unprecedented loss.
- Only 7 of Illinois' 102 counties grew between 2018-2019, and few have seen gains this decade, putting Illinois at risk of losing a congressional seat after the 2020 Census if trends continue.

This document summarizes a presentation about the state of Australia's fast growing outer suburbs (FGOS). It notes that FGOS now account for 11.3% of Australia's GDP and their economies and populations are growing rapidly. However, FGOS still lag behind major cities in measures like the percentage of high-skilled jobs and residents with university degrees. The presentation argues that further investment is needed in FGOS to support skills development, build up local industry clusters, expand cultural and research institutions, and improve infrastructure in order to maximize their economic potential and productivity.
The Changing Family Structure in the Atlanta RegionARCResearch
- Between 1970 and 2010, the percentage of families with children headed by single parents in the Atlanta region increased dramatically from less than 14% to almost 34%.
- Every county in the region saw double-digit percentage point increases in single-parent families over this period, with only Fulton county seeing a decrease between 2000-2010.
- Conversely, the proportion of husband-wife families decreased significantly across the region from nearly 71% in 1970 to 46% in 2010.
July Snapshot: Employment Trends & Establishment Growth in Metro Atlanta ARCResearch
This document summarizes employment and business trends in the Atlanta region. Some key findings include:
1) Atlanta ranks 2nd among 12 major metros in relative job growth over the past year, adding jobs at a faster rate than the national average.
2) Several outer suburban counties like Forsyth, Henry, and Paulding have seen the largest increases in employees and business establishments since 2000, experiencing strong population and economic growth.
3) Small businesses, defined as having 0-49 employees, make up around 24% of all businesses in Atlanta and are clustered in exurban areas, though they receive a smaller share of total payroll compared to other major cities.
Austin is experiencing rapid population growth, averaging 49% each decade since the 1960s. This growth is fueled mainly by domestic migration, as 61% of new households moving to Austin come from other parts of Texas. Key factors attracting newcomers include a strong economy with 13.9% job growth since 2009, second only to Nashville. While housing costs in Austin remain competitive for now, affordability is declining with median home prices rising 65% in the last decade. High-paying jobs in technology, engineering, healthcare and education are contributing to Austin's status as an attractive place to live and work.
Williamson County, Texas: Changing Demographics and Implications of GrowthCivic Analytics LLC
Williamson County is growing rapidly due to migration from other areas, especially Travis County. The population is becoming more diverse, with the Hispanic population projected to be over half of new residents in the next 20 years. This presents challenges around education and income inequality but also opportunities if inclusive economic development policies are pursued. Growth represents both challenges and opportunities for Williamson County to leverage as it takes on a more prominent role in the Austin region.
City of Asheville Housing Needs AssessmentGordon Smith
The focus of this analysis is to assess the market characteristics of, and to determine the housing needs for the city of Asheville, North Carolina. To accomplish this task, Bowen National Research evaluated various socio-economic characteristics, inventoried and analyzed the housing supply (rental and owner/for-sale product), conducted stakeholder interviews, evaluated special needs populations and provided housing gap estimates to help identify the housing needs of the city.
To provide a base of comparison, various metrics of Asheville were compared with overall four-county region that includes the counties of Buncombe, Henderson, Madison and Transylvania. A detailed comparison of the city of Asheville in relation with four subject counties is provided in the region analysis portion of the Asheville Overall Housing Needs Assessment.
The housing market in metro Atlanta is recovering from the recession, with home prices rising in many counties but still below pre-recession levels overall. Building permit activity has increased since 2012 but remains well below pre-recession levels. The highest home prices and rents are concentrated in northern suburbs like Fulton and Forsyth counties.
This document analyzes public health trends in metro Atlanta neighborhoods. It finds that while overall health has generally improved due to declining mortality rates, some issues remain problems. Diabetes rates and low birthweight births are increasing in many counties. Place and race are common factors for worse health outcomes. Areas with high poverty and non-white populations see more premature deaths, diabetes cases, and low birthweight babies. While most metro Atlanta counties rank highly for health outcomes, problem areas tend to be in southern parts of the region.
The document summarizes economic trends in Atlanta and nationally. It finds that while recovery from the recession continues, with GDP and employment increasing, progress has been slow. Job growth has primarily occurred in lower-wage sectors, holding down wage growth. Unemployment rates remain higher for minorities and less educated groups. However, leading indicators like increasing job postings in high-tech fields, rising patent activity, and forecasts predict potential growth in higher-wage sectors going forward.
This presentation will provide, for the start of 2020, an overview of some of the most relevant trends in our metro economy- topics will include trends in gross domestic product for peer metros, job growth by sector, changes in wage levels, trends in residential permitting, and current forecasts.

Housing Virginia Rural Report - Nov 2016Alise Newman
This document provides an overview of housing needs in rural Virginia. It finds that while rural populations are growing more slowly than urban areas, the rural population is aging significantly. Many young adults are moving away from rural communities for jobs while the senior population remains. As a result, poverty and unemployment rates are higher in rural areas, especially in the Mountain and Southside regions. The report also notes that affordable housing is lacking, with nearly a third of rural households paying over 30% of their income on housing costs. Direct feedback from rural housing providers identified additional needs around housing for seniors, rental options, homeownership, and improving existing housing stock. The report concludes with policy recommendations in these areas.
A brief presentation of recent population trends in Illinois from 2010 to 2017 along with related commentary. This is part of an ongoing series of presentations on topics relevant to Illinois and the U.S. midwest.
The total population of Floyd County increased by 8% between 2000 and 2013, driven by natural increase and domestic migration. The population is aging as the proportion of residents under 50 is declining. While remaining mostly white, racial and ethnic diversity is growing slowly. Educational attainment improved with more adults holding college degrees.
The document provides demographic, economic, and labor market data and analysis for Floyd County, Indiana. It summarizes that between 2000-2013, the county's population grew by 8% largely due to natural increase and domestic migration. While the population grew, it also aged as the proportion of residents under 50 declined. The county saw increases in racial, ethnic, and educational diversity over this period. Regarding the economy, the number of establishments doubled from 2000-2011 primarily through new business formation. The top five industries were government, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and accommodation/food services, employing over 59% of workers. Government and healthcare added jobs while manufacturing and retail lost jobs from 2002-2013.
This document discusses the growth of Austin, Texas's older adult population and its economic impacts. It finds that Austin ranks 3rd among large US metros in growth of its population aged 60+, which increased from 12% to 14% of the total population between 2008 to 2013. Several suburban zip codes have over 20% of their population aged 60+. This older adult population is projected to keep growing significantly in both numbers and as a percentage of the total population. It is an important part of Austin's economy and labor force, with higher rates of labor force participation and education levels than average. Their estimated household income is $7.5 billion. Partnering with local groups could help support their role in entrepreneurship and workforce needs.
The document discusses three key challenges facing Greater Manchester: productivity, geographic inequality, and housing. Productivity in Greater Manchester is lower than the rest of the country.

1) In 2023, crime was identified as the biggest problem by 26.5% of respondents, making it the top concern. Transportation and the economy were the second and third biggest problems.
2) Crime has consistently been one of the top concerns over previous survey years from 2014 to 2023, though its ranking and the percentage identifying it as the top problem has varied.
3) Perceptions of the biggest problem differ among demographic groups, with more Black respondents identifying crime and more white respondents identifying transportation as the top concern in
Metro Atlanta Speaks Summary RS Jan 2024ARCResearch

4) Majorities see climate change as a major global and regional threat over the next 10 years.
Final Jobs and Wages Snapshot Slide Deck2024ARCResearch
The document provides an overview of the job market and economy in metro Atlanta. Some key points:
- Metro Atlanta's employment growth over the past decade has been stronger than the national average, and its recovery from the pandemic is among the strongest of peer cities.
- Information and management jobs are relative strengths of the metro Atlanta economy.
- While all industries have more jobs now than before the pandemic, some like information and transportation have lost jobs in the past year.
- Inflation recently dropped significantly in metro Atlanta after outpacing wage growth for two years.
- Registered nurses and software developers remain the most in-demand occupations by employers. Occupations recovering from pandemic losses are also seeing increased demand.
Regional Snapshot: Health Disparities Abound
The document summarizes health disparities in the Atlanta region. It finds that while the metro Atlanta area is relatively healthy overall compared to the rest of Georgia, there are significant racial disparities in health outcomes. Across a wide range of indicators such as infant mortality, diabetes hospital visits, and life expectancy, Black populations consistently have poorer health outcomes than white populations. These disparities are also spatial, with poorer health outcomes concentrated in the southern parts of the region where poverty is also higher. Factors like access to insurance, transportation, and broadband internet contribute to these disparities. The document uses charts and maps to illustrate differences in outcomes, causes of death, hospitalization rates,
This document discusses the biggest challenges facing the Atlanta region including crime, economy, transportation, and human services. It is from the website atlantaregional.org/metroatlantaspeaks which focuses on issues impacting the Atlanta metropolitan area.
This document provides a regional snapshot of the Metro Atlanta cost of living in October 2023. It finds that Metro Atlanta's overall cost of living is almost exactly the national average, with a score of 100.4 on the C2ER Cost of Living Index. While Atlanta's health care costs are slightly higher than peers, utility costs are lower, offsetting the higher health care. The document also examines how costs have increased in Atlanta since 2000, with medical and transportation costs rising the most. Housing plays a large role in determining differences in cost of living between urban areas.
Among the fifteen most populous metro areas, metro Atlanta ranks fourth in overall homeownership rates. Homeownership rates vary greatly across the metro Atlanta region and are highest for Asian residents but lowest for Black and Hispanic residents. Cobb and Gwinnett Counties have the largest differences in homeownership rates between White and Black residents, while Fayette County has a much smaller gap. Mortgage data shows White homebuyers purchasing homes in majority Black areas of DeKalb County and central Fulton County.
Choice Hotels International is seeking to acquire Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, a deal that would create one of the largest budget hotel owners. The companies are each valued at around $6 billion but are not currently in serious talks. If no deal is reached, Choice could make an offer directly to Wyndham shareholders. Wyndham shares rose on the news while Choice shares dropped. Both companies focus on budget-conscious travelers. Choice says the deal would help its goal of expanding in upper-midscale and upscale segments. The hotel industry is recovering as travelers return, but it was battered early in the pandemic when travel halted globally.
The document provides an overview of aging trends in the Atlanta region. It notes that the population aged 65+ has nearly doubled since 1960 and will almost double again by 2050 to over 21% of the population. Currently Fayette County has the highest percentage of older residents while Clayton County has the lowest. The number of older people employed rebounded after the pandemic and is now the highest in 5 years, with those aged 65+ making up a growing share of total employment. The working age population is forecast to increase only 17% by 2050 compared to a 46% rise in non-working ages, reducing the dependency ratio.
This document provides a summary of data from the 100 Metros dashboard about the Atlanta metro area and how it compares to other large metro areas in the US. The data is organized into categories including demographics, housing, education/technology, health, employment, economic development, and commuting. Some key findings are that Atlanta's population ranks 8th largest nationally and grew faster than most other large metros from 2021-2022. The metro area also ranks high for housing permits, job growth, and median home sale price increases but lower for median income and average hourly wages.
1. Metro Atlanta surpassed 3 million jobs for the first time in October 2022, with employment recovering strongly from pandemic lows in early 2020.
2. Registered Nurses remain the most in-demand occupation according to job postings data, though demand is growing fastest for lower-wage jobs in areas like freight, food service, and retail.
3. Inflation has risen faster in metro Atlanta than national averages over the past year, increasing just over 8%, partly due to high population growth driving up housing costs.
The document analyzes migration patterns of young adults aged 16-26 between 2000-2018 moving to and from the Atlanta metropolitan area. It finds that the largest share of in-migration to Atlanta comes from low-income Black movers, making up 78% of all young movers. The top origins for migration are New York City and Miami, while the top destination for out-migration from Atlanta is LaGrange, Georgia. Overall, Atlanta sees far more in-migration from populations of color compared to white populations, and has one of the lowest rates of in-migration from white young adults among peer cities.
Rental presentation - with annotation.pdfARCResearch
The document summarizes rental housing affordability trends in the Atlanta metro region. It finds that over the past 5 years, rent growth in Atlanta has been the second highest among major US metros behind only Miami. Rents in the Atlanta suburbs like Forsyth County have increased the most. There has also been a decrease in affordable rental units renting for under $1250 and an increase in units renting for over $1250 from 2014-2020. Higher rents are pushing more people to file for evictions, with filings on the rise since early 2022. Census tracts with more millennials and closer to downtown Atlanta tend to have higher rental costs.
According to the document:
- Atlanta's overall cost of living is slightly above the national average, with housing costs being 13% higher but utility costs 13.4% lower than average.
- To have equivalent purchasing power in Manhattan as $50,000 in Atlanta, one would need to earn over $120,000, while only $49,900 would be needed in Dallas.
- Atlanta's consumer price index has increased 54% since 2000, with medical and transportation costs rising the most.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

• The 2020 Census reports that only three of the eleven counties (Cherokee, Forsyth, and Fayette) are majority-White non-Hispanic , and
these shares are declining quickly compared to previous Census periods. For example, Forsyth was 92% white, non-Hispanic in 1990, but
has dropped to 63% as of the 2020 Census. Clayton, DeKalb, and Rockdale are over 50% Black, with Henry and Douglas just under that
threshold. Nine of eleven counties are 10% Hispanic of higher, while the region’s population was at 13% as of the 2020 Census
• Among the most prominent racial groups, the Asian population has grown the fastest by far in the last decade, to reach nearly 8 percent
of the region’s population, and soaring to 18% of Forsyth and 13% of Gwinnett

• White, non-Hispanic population gained share, from 2010-2020, only in the City of Atlanta—it fell everywhere else. Five regional counties (with Forsyth the
greatest at 17 percentage points drop) had declining white, non-Hispanic shares over the last decade
• The share of “All Other, Non-Hispanic” grew in all areas 2010-2020—driven by gains in the number and share of people classifying as multiracial
• The Black share of the population increased everywhere but DeKalb County and the City of Atlanta, though those two areas remain at or just under 50%
Black. The largest share gains were in Henry and Rockdale, followed by Douglas County
• Hispanic population increased modestly, gaining less than 5 percentage points in all areas.

• Asian population increased by over 50 percent in the 11-county area from 2010-2020. Forsyth County saw a 300% increase in its Asian population, followed by Fulton
at 54%, Cherokee at 53%, and Fayette at 51%. White population had an absolute decline in all counties except DeKalb and Fulton (driven by increases in the City of
Atlanta). White population losses in Clayton and Rockdale approached 30%. Hispanic population grew by a third across the 11 counties, increasing by more than 50%
in Henry (at 66%), Cherokee at 56%, and Forsyth at 52%.Black population more than doubled in Forsyth, and increased by more than 50 percent in Henry. And we can’t
even put Non-Hispanic, Other on the same chart, so…

Percentage Increase 2010-2020: Non-Hispanic, Some Other Race, Two or More Races
• The number of persons classifying as some other race
or “two or more races”, with about 90% of this group
stating that they were multiracial) more than
quadrupled 2010-2020 in all but Gwinnett and Clayton
County—and Gwinnett had the highest share of such
persons in 2020 (and in 2010)
• As you see, the scale just would not work compared to
the increases in other racial/ ethnic groups, as rapid as
most of those increases were during the 2010s!
Editor's Notes
Almost 80% of the state’s net population growth 2010-2020 has been in the Atlanta MSA, and two-thirds in the 11-county area. While the state as a whole grew at 11%, the 11-county region grew at 16% (with the state outside the 11 counties growing at 6%
Six of eleven region counties saw a decline in whit non-Hispanic population 2010-2020. Population in all other groups in all other counties increased over the period.
Forsyth has been one of the fastest growing counties in the nation since the 1990s, and from 2010-2020, it led the region with a growth rate nearly 20 percentage points above that of Cherokee in second place. Douglas and Rockdale Counties were the only jurisdictions to grow by less than 10% in the decade.
