Clayton and DeKalb been majority black for a while. If it werent for Alpharetta, Milton and the cities in North Fulton, then Fulton County would be majority black as well.



I dont think there is a main industry..like for example, my subdivision is probably 97% black..the neighbors I know are firemen, a teacher, a plumber and a delivery driver

North Henry County is ok, (Stockbridge, North McDonugh,) the rest is somewhat rural (Ola, Locust Grove)..Part of Hampton where Atlanta Motor Speedway is leading to Griffin is kinda rural

West Rockdale County is ok cause its right on the border of Lithonia and Stonecrest, but as a whole I consider Rockdale somewhat rural. My girl stays out there and I used to get pulled over by 3 cops every time I went to Conyers cause I have a Clayton County tag :francis:

I dont know too much about Douglas County I think @AVXL can speak on it. I know Bankhead Highway runs into Douglas Co and thats where 6 Flags is.


Clayton, DeKalb are both urban

There's public transportation in Clayton and DeKalb bruh lmao
We just dont have rail service in Clayton.

My commute is great..I live in Fayetteville and work at a school in south Fulton I just ride 92 all the way down. Only time I use MARTA is if im going to a Hawks or Falcons game and dont feel like dealing with parking.

Even when I worked at a school in Midtown I drove. Aint nobody trying to wake up at 5 and stand at bus stop or wait for a bus after work :hhh:

Ain’t shyt..no jobs but Fast Food and Big Box Stores

We all commute to Downtown/ Buckhead/ The Perimeter for work which makes up the notorious rush hour traffic

I’m speaking for my County (Rockdale) and the Lithonia, (Black) Decatur/ Stone Mountain area

Alpharetta, Cumberland, Dunwoody/Sandy springs(aka the perimeter), Buckhead, Alpharetta, and Midtown are where all the high paying white collar jobs are.

Anything else it may be one company that has alot of employees in the area (i.e Delta on the southside) and everyone in those areas works for the main company or something related to it.

Aint nothing but big box retail in the places black people live in large numbers that aint poverty.

Downtown startup hub Switchyards is eyeing an expansion to Atlanta’s Historic West End.

Former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed tweeted March 26 that Switchyards founder Michael Tavani and Atlanta hip-hop artist and entrepreneur Killer Mike are teaming up to launch the new location.

“Good things from good people,” Reed tweeted. “Come join us on this Thursday at 7PM, as @KillerMike talks everything Atlanta.”

According to a permit filed March 21 in Atlanta, the new location of "Switchyards Neighborhood Club" is planned for 691 West Whitehall St. SW.


The property is next to the West End MARTA station and near “The Met,” developer Carter’s 1.1 million-square-foot redevelopment of a former cotton warehouse along Metropolitan Parkway.

Switchyards said on its website that the 10,000-square-foot warehouse will primarily be used for "hosting big events, conferences, launch parties, workshops, weddings and everything in between."

A website is also up for 691 West Whitehall, offering leasable space for private or shared workspaces.

“We seek professionals from all creative industries as tenants to activate this special hub for impact and innovation,” says the website.
