Abstract
This report focuses on one dimension of Atlanta's functional health, the jobs-housing balance within the region's communities. A balanced community contains a mixture of economic activities and housing types, allowing people to live, work and recreate in the same
area. Balance reflects an area's ability to manage its resources and create an inclusive working and living environment. The following analysis collects employment, income, housing, school, tax and land use data from communities in the Atlanta Regional Commission 10-county area. Analyzed government units include municipalities, superdistricts, which consist of larger groupings of census tracts, and counties. The following maps identify the locations of regional cities and superdistricts, along with county boundaries. The results reveal that many Atlanta communities display little balance in their economic and residential development.
