The share of exurban growth has slowed somewhat, but Atlanta-area growth is overwhelmingly suburban fringe growth.
Does it really matter if it dropped from 100% to 90% greenfield development?
Also, Atlanta is one of those metros where the housing typology doesn't vary that much. New housing 3 miles from downtown probably won't look/function that different than new housing 30 miles from downtown.
