| Atlanta, Georgia |
|
What is Atlanta's appeal? Atlantans say their city combines
classic small town Southern hospitality with all the culture, sports and
amenities of a 21st century international city. The 1996 Centennial Olympic
Games focused world attention on Atlanta as a model international city.
Not only other Americans, but people from around the world are drawn to
Atlanta's attractions or to attend the city's highly ranked educational and
research institutions, making Atlanta the ninth largest metropolitan area in
the U.S. with more than 4 million residents in its 20-county metro area.
Median income -- $34,770
Median house value -- $130,600
