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.
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.
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.

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.
Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

2. The number of renter households in the region paying more than 30% of their income on
housing cost has increased steadily over the last 10 years, while the number of cost-
burdened owner households has declined.
The overwhelming majority of lower income households in the region are cost-burdened.
Recently, the greatest increase is cost-burdened households has been among those with
annual incomes between $35,000 and $50,000.
Housing market subareas provide a foundational spatial framework for the housing strategy,
enabling the identification of area-specific policies and tactics.
The new Metro Atlanta Housing Strategy (MAHS) website provides an entry point for
discussing housing affordability and identifying policies and tactics to address this issue.
The example neighborhoods in this Regional Snapshot offer a localized view of each subarea.

Combining the UGPM categories with the home price analysis and then using some inductive reasoning…these are the resulting subareas. I am happy to go into how exactly we arrived at these 10 in the Q&A but the short of it is that this came about through a data-driven iterative stakeholder engagement process with housing policy relevance being a central criterion. I will now very quickly go through each of the subareas.
