Fayette County has strict zoning and development rules, and cheap multi-family housing is very limited there. It is a dramatic contrast from adjacent Clayton County, which while retaining some middle class residents is overall the worst off major county in metro Atlanta. Within metro Atlanta the southern suburbs tend to be less in the spotlight than the northern suburbs, so many are not aware of the critical mass of affluence in Fayette.
Coweta County has been a direct benefactor of what you describe. It hasn't seen a development it doesn't like, so the shopping centers, dealerships, residential developments, etc that Fayette won't allow are all being built along I-85 and Highway 34.
In fact, what's been happening lately is a lot of the affluent population in Fayette County has been migrating to Coweta County for the cheaper housing costs, which is improving Coweta's demographics.
