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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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 Atlanta region population grew by over 78,000 people between 2016 and 2017, with Fulton County experiencing the largest growth of 17,100 new residents. While population growth has slowed compared to previous decades, the 2017 increase was higher than the annual average of the 1990s and 2000s. Most new residential development, both single and multi-family, is occurring in the northern suburbs of the region. The City of Atlanta permitted over 8,000 new units in 2016, mostly multi-family, more than any other jurisdiction.
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.
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.
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.

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.
This month's Regional Snapshot explores ARC’s annual population estimates for 2014 to assess how we are recovering from the slowdown we experienced during the Great Recession.
A First Look at Atlanta's 2020 Census Results: Counties and "Up"ARCResearch
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 document summarizes economic trends in Austin from 2003-2013 that contributed to its strong growth and prosperity. It notes that Austin experienced the second highest GDP growth and top job growth among large US metro areas during this period. However, it warns that success can breed complacency and that challenges remain around income stagnation, education inequality, and housing affordability. The document calls for big ideas to address these issues, such as setting goals for a majority of residents to obtain a postsecondary degree and using opportunities like the new medical school to promote broad-based wealth creation and inclusion.
- Austin's economy grew strongly in 2015, with 3.7% employment growth far exceeding the statewide rate, and the lowest unemployment since the dot-com era.
- Austin has consistently had among the fastest growing tech employment in the US since 2010 and is ranked highly for startup activity.
- However, average earnings for Hispanics and Blacks in Travis County remain below 70% of earnings for Whites, and rising housing costs threaten Austin's competitive advantage. Addressing inclusive prosperity and regional challenges will be key priorities in 2016.

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.
- The document provides an economic overview of Austin, Texas presented by Brian Kelsey of Civic Analytics LLC.
- It shows that Austin's economic growth has outpaced most major metros since 2009, with GDP and job growth about 3 times the national rate.

This document summarizes trends in urban redevelopment in Massachusetts over the past 10 years. It finds that while some cities like Boston and Cambridge have grown, many older industrial cities referred to as "Middle Cities" have continued to struggle with economic decline, population loss, and higher crime rates compared to the state average. Unemployment and poverty levels remain significantly higher in these cities, which have also seen their property values and middle class populations decrease relative to other areas in Massachusetts over the past several decades since the decline of manufacturing. The document analyzes population, economic, crime, and other data trends in 14 Massachusetts cities to assess their progress since a previous 2006 report.

- The cities that grew the fastest between 2000-2010 were Braselton, Grayson, Villa Rica, Canton, and Holly Springs, all increasing over 100%.
- Non-Hispanic whites remain the largest racial/ethnic group but grew more slowly than other groups. The Hispanic population increased significantly across many cities.
- Over 1,000 acres were annexed into cities in 2010
SOME SHIFTS IN 2010 CENSUS NUMBERS DUE TO BOUNDARY CHANGES, NOT ALL GROWTH - news release from University of Montana's Bureau of Business and Economic Research based on analysis from Jim Sylvester, Director of Survey Operations.
North Carolina's population has grown significantly from 5.1 million in 1970 to over 10 million in 2015, and it is projected to continue growing. Most of the future population growth is expected in Wake and Mecklenburg counties. One-third of North Carolina's counties are projected to lose population. The state has experienced a net migration gain of over 2.2 million people since 1990, especially among younger age groups. By 2020, millennials are expected to make up 31% of the population, and baby boomers 20%. The Hispanic population in North Carolina is growing, with over half of the Hispanic population under age 18.
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 document provides data about Clinton County, Indiana from 2000-2013/2020. It covers topics such as demography, economy, and labor market. Some key findings are:
- The county's population declined slightly between 2000-2013 due to domestic migration out of the county outpacing international migration and natural growth.
- The population is aging as the proportion of residents over 50 increased while the proportion of working-age residents declined.
- The Hispanic population doubled between 2000-2013, increasing their share of the county's population.
- Educational attainment rose but nearly half of adults still only have a high school degree.
- The number of business establishments grew 36% from 2000-2011, primarily through new

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.
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.

Population Estimates for the Atlanta Region:
Another Steady Year of Growth
2. • The 10-county Atlanta region is now home to 4,332,600 in 2015, up from 4,272,300
in 2014. From April 1, 2014 to April 1, 2015 the region added 60,300 new
residents.
• From 2014 to 2015, Gwinnett added 15,700 new residents, the largest single-year
growth in the region. Next were Fulton with 12,300 new residents, Cobb with
10,500 new residents, and Cherokee with 5,800 new residents.
• Overall, the more rural counties of Cherokee, Douglas, and Henry experienced their
population booms last decade, whereas the urban counties grew the most during
the 1990s.
• In 2014, there were almost 20,000 new residential building permits in the 10-
county region, which was 1,600 higher than the number permitted in 2013. Still,
building permit activity for the 10-county region is still muted when compared to
pre-recession population growth levels.

lower than the annual growth experienced between 1990 and 2010. This is still an increase compared to last
year, when the region, from 2010-2014, had only averaged around 41,000 residents each year. Over the past
year (April 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015), however, the region added 60,300 new residents, compared to 52,700
between 2013 and 2014.

With the economy improving and the creation of more jobs, population growth has rebounded, but still lags
that of the booming years in the 1990s and 2000s. Since 2010, Gwinnett County has led the region in average
annual growth, adding 10,896 new residents each year. This growth, as in all jurisdictions except the City of
Atlanta, is well below the average annual change experienced between 1990 and 2010.
Since last year, Gwinnett added the most residents, up to 15,700, then Fulton (12,300), Cobb (10,500), and
Cherokee (5,800). Gwinnett surpassed Fulton, which was in the lead last year.

Raw Change by Decade: 10-County ARC
The 1990s were booming, as the 10-county Atlanta region added more than 900,000 new residents during the decade,
by far the largest net gain in population when compared to other decades spanning back to the 1930s. On a
percentage basis, however, the 1950s had the largest gains, with the region growing by some 38 percent between 1950
and 1960.

Residential Building Permits: 1980-2014
While ARC looks at several sources of data in developing our annual population estimates, examining building permit
activity is a primary input. The lagging building permit activity of the last few years helps explain why population growth
has been so sluggish. But, in 2014, there were almost 20,000 new building permits in the 10-county region, which was
about 1,600 higher than the number permitted in 2013. As building permit activity ticks back up, so will population
growth. But permitting activity is just now back to 1991 levels.

But, despite the increase last year, building permit activity is still at near-record lows. Between 1980 and
2012, the 10-county Atlanta region averaged 35,000 residential permits each year. In 2014, that number
was almost 20,000, just over half of the 30-year average. So while last year’s population growth of
60,300 new residents was the highest annual increase since the Great Recession, that growth is less than
half of what the region experienced in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Building Permits By Jurisdiction, 2014
In addition to looking at overall residential permit activity, we also look at the type of unit permitted. Multi-family
units have smaller household sizes and higher vacancy rates than single-family homes. So, in Fulton County (which
includes the City of Atlanta totals), for example, the vast majority (70%) of new units permitted were multi-family. In
contrast, the vast majority (93%) of new units permitted in Gwinnett were single-family. Thus, even though Fulton
permitted more than twice the number of units last year than Gwinnett, (8,100 to 3,300), Gwinnett added 3,400
more new residents than Fulton County. Other factors included higher occupancies and school enrollment trends for
Gwinnett.
In metro Atlanta, for example,
some 45 percent of occupied
multi-family units house
single-person households,
compared to only 20 percent
of single-family unit
households headed by a
single-person.
