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.
This document discusses trends in the aging population in metro Atlanta and focuses on how older adults can age in their communities. It highlights the importance of planning, engagement, access, and connection for seniors as they age. Specifically, it notes that most older adults in Atlanta prefer to age in place, discusses programs to support volunteerism and labor force participation, and outlines modifications, technologies, and initiatives to combat social isolation.
Metro Atlanta's economy is recovering strongly from the pandemic, with job levels now only slightly below pre-pandemic levels. However, inflation is high, driven by increased transportation costs, and wages have not kept pace. The labor market is extremely tight, with many job openings but few job seekers. Housing costs remain high due to low inventory levels and rents are increasing. While most sectors have rebounded, employment in food and accommodation remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Financial insecurity persists for many in the region.
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.
