Deloitte new roads to value creation-jan19Roger Atkins
This document summarizes key findings from the 2019 Deloitte Global Automotive Consumer Study regarding consumers' views and willingness to adopt various emerging automotive technologies. The study found that while interest in electric vehicles is growing, adoption may differ globally depending on factors like fuel prices and policy support. Consumer perceptions of autonomous vehicle safety have stalled due to high-profile accidents, and most want stronger government regulation of the technology. Interest in connectivity is high but consumers are wary of data collection and most are unwilling to pay significant premiums. Overall, transforming mobility on a large scale may be challenging as consumer behavior can be difficult to change.

There's a lot of research out there suggesting that young people today “don't need cars to achieve a sense of self and freedom” the way previous generations did. But that doesn't necessarily mean that young adults aren't interested in driving. We dug into the culture and the data and did some of our own research--and here's what we found:
Getting a license and a car still matter to Millennials.
How Millennials prioritize cars may be more a function of economics and life stage than a true generational phenomenon.
Many Millennials want luxury stuff across the board – and they may be choosing to hold out rather than trade down.

RV 2014: TOD Market Dreams + Realities by Michael HorstingRail~Volution
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) in Chicago on residents living in transit-oriented development (TOD) areas. The survey found that over 80% of TOD residents do not have children and their average age is 48. Compared to their previous homes, more TOD residents now walk, bike, or take transit to work and for non-commuting trips. Reasons for selecting a TOD neighborhood included proximity to transit, walkability, and not being dependent on a car. The survey results will help the RTA improve TOD areas and marketing to attract residents.
The document summarizes presentations from the Grid Edge Innovation Summit 2020 on transportation and building electrification. It discusses how electrification can help reduce emissions in other sectors as the power sector decarbonizes. Buildings and transportation account for an increasing share of emissions over time. Electrification of vehicles and buildings using low-carbon electricity can significantly reduce emissions. However, adoption will be driven by various factors and regulations in different markets and sectors. Widespread electrification will also impact electricity demand and require changes to transmission and distribution planning.

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.
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.

Peace, Conflict and National Adaptation Plan (NAP) ProcessesNAP Global Network
Conflict-affected countries dealing with national defense issues, the deaths and suffering of their people, and a fragile peace environment might find it challenging to prioritize climate change action. However, ignoring their adaptation needs while striving to promote peace would be a mistake, as there are close links between climate change and fragility.

EV “Highlights” from MAS
• Just over nine percent of respondents indicated that they currently own an electric vehicle, or EV (slightly higher than national
averages).
• Residents in the City of Atlanta (15%) and Fulton County (13%) are relatively more likely to own an electric vehicle.
Residents of Forsyth (6%), Clayton (5%), and Rockdale (4%) are relatively less likely to have an EV at present.
• Younger cohorts (18-34) are considerably more likely than average to own an EV now (16.8%), as are those with higher incomes (19.4%
of those earning over $250,000).
• Nearly a third of respondents said they plan to buy an EV in the next five years.
• The age break is nearly as apparent with plans to buy an EV as it is in the case of current ownership; respondents over 50 were less than
half as likely to plan to get an EV as younger groups. The prime workforce ages of 25-54 were most open to buying in the next five years.
• Renters are more apt than homeowners (29%) to plan on getting an EV in the next 5 years
• Top reasons for having bought or holding a desire to buy in the future include better for the environment (homeowners) and cheaper to
operate (renters).
• Correspondingly, top reasons for not (yet) having or having no desire to buy in the future include being too expensive (particularly so for
renters, as well as for those and inconvenience of charging (particularly so for homeowners).
