Class-Divided Cities: Atlanta Edition
The fifth installment in our series mapping the class divides in America's cities and metros.
This is the fifth of a series of posts that explore the class divides across America's largest cities and metros. Using data from the American Community Survey, each post explores the geography of class within a large city and metro area. For a detailed description of methodology, see the first post in the series.
The map above shows a clear class divide which splits the city of Atlanta nearly in half. The creative class lives in the areas that are shaded in purple, the red areas are primarily service class, and the blue are working class. Each colored space on the map is a Census tract, a small area within a city or county that can be even smaller than a neighborhood.
