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.
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.
Home Ownership snapshot (september 2021) v oct 1ARCResearch
This document provides a summary of key trends related to homeownership in the Atlanta region from 2021. It finds that while home prices have risen rapidly during the pandemic, the housing market appears to be cooling in recent months. The homeownership rate has declined over the last 20 years nationally and regionally. From 2012-2019, the number of owner households increased by 135k, driven by households earning $75k or more. The proportion of cost-burdened owners has declined, but this mostly reflects lower-income households being priced out. The Black-White homeownership gap remains wide and has widened in most counties over the past decade.
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.
The document summarizes housing affordability trends in metro Atlanta. Home prices have risen faster than wages since 2011, and fewer affordable homes are being built. While home prices in north Atlanta and northern suburbs have appreciated the most since 2000, prices in southern areas have declined. When factoring in transportation costs, true housing affordability is even more constrained, with over half of average household income spent on housing and transportation across the region.

Regional Snapshot: Affordable Housing - July 2017 ARCResearch
- Home ownership and household formation rates have declined dramatically compared to historic trends, while home prices have risen significantly faster than wages due to dwindling housing supply. Adding transportation costs further worsens housing affordability.
- Rental costs have also risen sharply, especially in the suburbs, while the number of affordable units, particularly for extremely low-income households, has decreased.
- Most affordable housing is located in low-opportunity areas, maintaining the cycle of generational poverty.

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.
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.
The document is a summary and analysis of data from the 2021 Regional Snapshot report by the Atlanta Regional Commission comparing socioeconomic metrics of the Atlanta metro area to the other largest 100 metro areas in the US. Some key points:

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 month's regional snapshot provides an assessment of regional housing affordability in the Atlanta region. Starting with a review of historic trends in housing construction and costs, the snapshot then steps through the definition of regional "subareas" based on inventory, price, and affordability characteristics.
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.
Population estimates for the major jurisdictions in the 10-county Atlanta region is one of ARC's signature products. This presents ARC's 2013 population estimates which show the region added 40,100 new residents over the past year.
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.
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.
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.
The document summarizes key metrics and trends in the 2019 San Francisco County housing market based on data from the local MLS. It finds that while buyer activity was strong due to low mortgage rates and a healthy economy, inventory constraints continued to limit sales. Median home prices rose 2.2% from 2018 to $1,380,000. Condo prices increased more than single family homes. Most neighborhoods saw price increases but inventory declined substantially year-over-year.
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.
Economic Growth in Central Texas: The Promise and Reality of Prosperity in ou...Civic Analytics LLC
The document discusses economic growth in Austin, Texas. It finds that Austin has experienced rapid population growth in recent decades, ranking 11th nationally since 2000, primarily due to domestic migration from other parts of Texas and other states. This growth has been fueled by a strong tech sector and job market. However, concerns are raised that not all residents have benefited equally from the economic expansion, and that infrastructure and housing affordability challenges threaten future sustainability unless addressed. The discussion section focuses on improving education levels and workforce training to ensure inclusive economic participation.
The document summarizes statistics about Austin, Texas that show the city has experienced significant population and job growth over the past decade and a half. However, it also notes that most of the new jobs created require only a high school diploma or less and do not pay enough to afford median rents in Austin. Additionally, there are disparities in educational attainment between racial/ethnic groups that are limiting access to well-paying jobs for many Austin residents. Unless these gaps are addressed, socioeconomic segregation is likely to increase as the cost of living rises.

- Population growth tracts saw higher incomes and education levels and became wealthier and more racially diverse. Poverty concentration tracts saw lower incomes, declining home values, and increased percentages of low-income residents of color.
- Population growth occurred in outer suburbs and parts of Atlanta, while poverty concentrated in the southern suburbs and parts of Atlanta. The analysis examines changes in demographics, income, housing costs, and education across different types of tracts
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.

The document provides demographic, economic, and labor market data and analysis for Clinton County. Between 2000-2013, Clinton County's population declined slightly due to domestic out-migration outweighing natural growth and international immigration. The number of establishments in the county grew 36% from 2000-2011 primarily through new business formation. The largest industries are manufacturing, government, and health care, though transportation and warehousing saw the largest employment growth between 2002-2013.
The number of establishments in Harrison County doubled between 2000 and 2011, largely due to the natural increase of new businesses being launched. By 2011, the majority of establishments (57%) fell into Stage 1, having 2-9 employees. The top five employers in 2015 included Horseshoe Southern Indiana casino, Harrison County Hospital, Tyson Foods, Blue River Services housing nonprofit, and ICON Metal Forming, producing a mix of local, national and global goods and services.
The population of Harrison County increased 14% between 2000-2013, driven by natural increase and domestic in-migration. While the population grew, it aged, as seen in shifting population pyramids. The number of establishments doubled from 2000-2011, primarily through new establishments rather than relocating establishments. Top employers span local, national, and global industries. Government and manufacturing jobs declined the most between 2002-2013, while real estate grew 38%.

Wide Open Spaces: Schooling in Rural America TodayJeremy Knight
Rural communities and schools face many challenges but also have significant assets. While rural areas on average have higher poverty rates and lower incomes and education levels than urban areas, there is great diversity among rural communities. Some rural areas, particularly in parts of the Midwest and Great Plains, have higher rates of economic mobility than urban areas. Rural schools have common challenges like declining enrollment and transportation issues but vary widely. Overall, focusing only on challenges overlooks the strengths of rural communities, including strong social networks, civic engagement, and local commitment that can help drive meaningful change.

The document provides demographic data for the EBDI redevelopment project area and surrounding Greater East Baltimore neighborhood, comparing statistics from 2000 to 2010. It finds that the population in the EBDI area decreased significantly, with fewer households and children. Poverty rates increased while income levels rose slightly on average. Housing units decreased substantially, with large drops in homeownership. The neighborhood experienced income inequality and high rates of poverty, though the number of very low-income residents decreased.
This document discusses regional economics and rural economic decline. It begins with an outline and definitions of key topics such as rural communities and metropolitan vs non-metropolitan areas. It then discusses the significant economic decline seen in many rural communities across the country in recent decades, as shown by data on uneven growth and recovery across places. The document poses the question of what, if anything, states and localities should do to intervene when communities are struggling economically.
This document provides a summary of demographic, economic, and labor market data for Jefferson County. The population increased slightly between 2000 and 2013, driven primarily by natural growth and domestic migration. The population is aging, with fewer residents of prime working age. Educational attainment improved modestly over this period. The county saw significant growth in the number of establishments between 2000 and 2011, largely through new business formation. The largest industries are manufacturing, government, retail trade, and healthcare, although manufacturing experienced job losses since 2002.
This document analyzes demographic changes in Lancaster County, Nebraska from 1970 to 2010 using census data. It focuses on Census Tract 9 in Lincoln, which remained fairly stable in population but became more diverse over time. In 1970, Tract 9 was 98.9% white with low diversity. By 2010, the white population dropped to 78.7% and diversity increased as the Asian and Hispanic populations grew. Overall, the diversity index in Tract 9 rose over 2000% during this period, representing Lancaster County's transition to becoming a more diverse community.
Exploring Dallas Poverty in Local, Regional, and National ContextsTimothy Bray
This document examines poverty in Dallas, Texas from 2000-2014. It finds that poverty rates increased much more sharply than population growth over this period. The number of children and Hispanic individuals living in poverty grew by 59% and 53% respectively, outpacing the city's overall population increase of 8%. Dallas had one of the highest child poverty and Hispanic poverty rates among major U.S. cities in 2014. The document also analyzes how poverty affects brain development and civic participation, and discusses the changing geographic concentration of poverty within Dallas over time.
This document discusses key concepts related to human geography including global patterns of urbanization. It notes that around 50% of the world's population now lives in urban areas, with the most urbanized continents being Europe, North America, and South America. Asia has the largest number of urban dwellers at 1.4 billion people, and urbanization is increasing most rapidly in Africa and Asia. By 2025, half the population in Africa and Asia will live in cities.
The document provides a data snapshot of demographic, economic, and labor market information for Marion County. It experienced population growth between 2000-2013 primarily through natural increase, though domestic migration was negative. The population became more racially/ethnically diverse and older during this period. The county saw a doubling in the number of establishments from 2000-2011, largely through business startups. The top five industries were health care, government, retail, manufacturing, and administrative/support services, accounting for around half of all jobs.

1) "Crime" remained the top issue facing the region according to respondents, though "Economy" saw a large increase as the second most picked issue in 2023.
2) Less than half of respondents support paying higher taxes to fund expanded regional public transit.
3) Over 60% of respondents said they could not afford to move to another housing unit in their current neighborhood or within the metro area.
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.
The document summarizes population and economic trends in the 11-county Atlanta region from 2022. It finds that the region grew by over 64,000 people between 2021 and 2022 to a total population of over 5 million. Gwinnett County saw the largest numeric increase while Henry County had the highest percentage growth. The City of Atlanta rebounded from slower growth in 2020-2021. Housing demand remains high across the region although building permit activity has not returned to pre-Great Recession levels. Job growth in the Atlanta region was strong in 2022, outpacing national trends. Most new housing construction is occurring in the outer suburban and exurban counties.

Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
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.

1. Demographic Shifts At Census Tract
Level for the 20-County ARC Region
From 2000 to 2019
Atlanta Regional Change
Regional Snapshot:
Dynamics of Neighborhood
Change, 2000-2019
2. 2
Key Takeaways
We used a method comparable to that in the City of Atlanta Department of City Planning ‘s Neighborhood
Change Report to produce a similar analysis at the regional level for the time period from 2000 to 2019.
53% of the 20-county region’s Census tracts registered some form of change.
12% of Census tracts experienced significant population growth during the timeframe. In these growth tracts,
median household income increased by 14 percentage points in 2019 dollars and Asian, Black, Hispanic and other
minority populations increased by 7.5 percentage points.*
28% of Census tracts experienced significant poverty concentration during the timeframe. In these tracts of
poverty concentration, median household income decreased by 27 percentage points and Asian, Black, Hispanic
and other minority populations increased by 13 percentage points.
*In 2019 Dollars.**All groups except non-Hispanic White.
3. Definitions of Change Categories
• Population Growth: Tracts with an overall population increase in both low-income
residents and non-low-income residents, where the percentage of low-income residents shrank, and
the percentage of non-low-income residents grew.
• Population Decline: Tracts with an overall population decrease in both income categories,
where the percentage of low-income residents grew, and the percentage of non-low-income
residents shrank.
• Poverty Concentration: Tracts with an overall population decrease in non-low-income
residents and an overall population increase in low-income residents where the percentage of low-
income residents grew.
• Poverty Displacement: Tracts with an overall population decrease in low-income
residents and an overall population increase in non-low-income residents where the percentage of
low-income residents shrank.

4. Regional Neighborhood Change Takeaways
Of the 20-County region’s948 Census tracts (2010
boundaries), about half showed significant
change of some kind:
Changed tracts = 499
Unchanged tracts = 449
Total tracts = 948
Among the tracts experiencing change:
• The Population Growth categoryoutpaces the
Population Decline category.
Growth = 111 tracts
Decline = 24 tracts
• The PovertyConcentration categoryoutpaces the
PovertyDisplacement category.
Concentration = 265 tracts
Displacement = 99 tracts
4
5. Spatial Patterns of Change
• Population Growth tracts (in GREEN) are distributed
in a circular patternin the outer suburbs, the northern
half of the City of Atlanta, and in the area north of the
City of Atlanta between I-75 and I-85.
• Population Declinetracts(in RED) are located
primarily in the southern half of the City of Atlanta
and in portions of DeKalb and GwinnettCounties
close to I-285.
• Poverty Displacementtracts(in YELLOW)are
distributed in the central and eastern portions of the
City of Atlanta, the smaller cities of the close-in
suburbs, and areas surroundingcities in the far
suburbs.
• Poverty Concentrationtracts (in ORANGE)are
largely found in the southern and western portions of
City of Atlanta, in unincorporatedsections of the
close-in suburbs, and in areas surroundingcities in the
far suburbs.
5
6. • The City of Atlanta has seen an influx of more affluent residents over the past
two decades, contributing to low-income displacement through the process of
gentrification.
• Redevelopment of town squares and added regional transportation options
in smaller cities have contributed to a similar phenomenon in the suburbs, as
those cities retrofit to meet consumer demands.
• Low-income concentration has shifted toward unincorporated portions of the
suburbs where aging housing stock and lower taxes contribute to a lower cost of
living and to more affordable housing (relative to the nearby cities).

The map shows the locations of population decline areas. As a reminder, these are areas that experienced an overallpopulation decline in both low-income and
non-low-incomeresidents, butthe percentageof non-low-incomeresidents shrank themost, resulting in these areas becoming less wealthy over the analysis
period. As can be seen, there are relatively few areas classified as population decline, and they are scattered mostly within I-285 in the southern parts of the City of
Atlanta.

The map identifies the locations of poverty concentration areas. As a reminder, these areas experienced an overall decline in non-low-incomepopulations with a
corresponding increasein low-incomepopulations. Thus, these areas became less wealthy. As can be seen, these areas areconcentrated within the first-ring
suburbs lining the I-285 perimeter, as well as in a few other moreexurban areas to the south. This pattern highlights the suburbanization of poverty phenomenon
we see in the Atlanta region.

16. Poverty DisplacementAreas: An Overview
16
The map displays locations of poverty displacement areas. As a reminder, these areas experienced an increase in non-low-incomeresidents with a corresponding
decreasein low-incomeresidents. These areas mostclosely align with what many would think of as areas of gentrification although this analysis isn’tfocused on
defining gentrification. As can be seen, these areas are heavily concentrated within the urban core and the City of Atlanta, with a few isolated areas near suburban
town centers.
The chart in the upper rightcorner compares the median populations in these poverty concentration areas to the median populations across allareas in the region.

19. • This analysis used the same parameters as the Neighborhood Change Report produced by the Atlanta
Department of City Planning.*
• Numerical thresholds for significant change were 2% for low-income residents and 10% for non-low-
income residents.
• Low- income was defined as 200% of the federal poverty threshold in 2019.
• For comparisons, this analysis use data from Social Explorer for the 2000 Decennial Census and from the
2015-2019 ACS.**
• The data are redistributed into 2010-vintage census tracts for continuity purposes.
