The population of Atlanta's 4 core counties increased 55,168 (up 29% from 2000-2010) while edge/exurban counties added 21,077 (down 63%) for the year 2010-2011...and the two central counties containing the city of Atlanta outpaced the two suburban core counties by 26%.
This is a huge turnaround for the city after years of exurban growth. Signs point toward continued growth in the core counties and city limits of Atlanta.
