I just found this a bit ago.

I found it from this article.

ARC: Braselton pop. up highest from ‘00-’09 - Atlanta Business Chronicle:

One thing that stuck in my mind was even though how much people complain about Gwinnett, that there has been such a huge population change in the north and eastern parts of the county. Interesting...

For Gwinnett, I think what you're seeing is people moving to the exurbs as more of the inner suburbs (if you can call them that) like Duluth or Norcross are either too expensive or too dangerous (in the areas you can afford). The result- move further out where land is cheaper and its still safe. Judging by that ABC list, it seemed alot of those placed would be considered exurbs.

Thanks for the list. Good stuff.

I never really like ARC population projections. I can understand conservative, but they are more like misers. I wonder what type of methodology they use.

[Tdiddy0027]

yeah, they're predictions are waaaaaaay less than the census bureau's. It's a little ridiculous

One thing that seemed odd to me was that Johns Creek supposedly lost population from 2000-2009. Does that seem strange to anyone else??
