ARC can only make recommendations, it has no power.

Good post from user "shivtim" on another forum:
Quote:
ARC's 2017 population estimates were released today. The city of Atlanta "added 9,900 new residents between 2016 and 2017, the largest single-year estimated population increase since the Great Recession." 13% of residential growth in 2016/2017 happened in the city, and 87% outside the city limits (mainly in Fulton, Gwinnett, and Cobb). So there's still a lot of suburban growth, but every county experienced slower growth from 2010-2017 than the 1990-2010 average, while the City of Atlanta is growing 17 times faster than its 1990-2010 average, and in just this past year the growth rate was 41 times faster than the 1990-2010 yearly average. Huge shift.

Edit: quick chart I made of city of Atlanta population in the last 37 years. Decade data from the census, 2015-2017 data from ARC.

This is impressive:



Despite building all these units it is still not enough. Occupancy and the prices are still high. The people want to live in the city.

Clearly things are changing for Atlanta but what is the ARC's track record? Historically has it been more accurate than the Census? I noticed that many of the estimates are lower than the Census Bureau.
