2010 Florida Census Numbers Released

For income growth in the intown neighborhoods, these are the fastest growing neighborhoods.  I think income growth speaks louder than population growth.

Old Fourth Ward (43.8% growth last decade)
Edgewood Historic District (37.2% growth)
Centennial Park/Techwood Area (34.8% growth)
Berkeley Heights/Loring Park (33.2% growth)
Bedford Pine (our Central Park area...30.6% growth)

Grant Park (27.0% growth)
Midtown (26.8% growth)
Inman Park (26.6% growth...this neighborhood is HOT)
Ormewood/Glenwood Park (26.0% growth)
Lindbergh (25.2% growth)
Buckhead CBD (25.2% growth)
English Avenue Corridor (24.8% growth)

The average home values are generally higher since in the intown neighborhoods the stretch is definitely on the high end.  The average home value in 32082, the main Ponte Vedra zip code, is under $500,000.  This just goes to show how much more expensive and desirable intown Atlanta neighborhoods are right now compared to anything we have in Jax.

Not quite a million in the perimeter yet (or in all of Fulton County, sadly...our overall growth has really slowed).  There will probably be ~1.15 million in the perimeter by 2025, giving intown Atlanta an average density of 4,400 across the board.

Hope this answers questions about Atlanta.  I would predict that Nashville and Charlotte are seeing very similar situations as Atlanta on a smaller scale.

[Seraphs]

Simms3, what the hell is a, 'non hip hop oriented black',?  In my opinion people shouldn't be defined by a music genre.  I think what you are trying to say is more affluent blacks are moving into this area.

[JeffreyS]

I'm a non country and western oriented white.

[buckethead]

I'm a non country and western oriented white.

Oh dear!

[Doctor_K]

I'm a non country and western oriented white.

LoL.  ditto.

[Seraphs]

I'm a non country and western oriented white.

You maybe, however, you are an individual.  Is every white person  in your neighborhood, 'a non country and western oriented white?' Of course not.  Simms3 made a generalization about a group of people, this is called stereotyping.

One of my pet peeves is when seemingly intelligent people say foolish things and think it's OK.  This is not an attack on Simms3 and I do perceive this person to be intelligent.  However, 'non hip hop oriented blacks' is a terrible way to describe a group of people.

[JeffreyS]

His first choice was "Urkels" so at least he did not go down that path.

[uptowngirl]

The urban core didn't do as bad as I thought it would, although I still suspect the overall number is a loss.  Looking at the map, it appears DT, San Marco, St. Nicholas, Springfield (north of 8th St), Longbranch, Panama Park, Tallulah, Commonwealth and Avondale experienced growth.  The major urban core losers appear to be Murray Hill, Lackawanna, Eastside, Brentwood, Durkeeville and Moncrief.

I would expect to see some drop around Historic Springfield as the houses are converting from apartments, boarding houses, and a multi families packed into one house to single family and singles. In our neighborhood we are not counting the number of people, but the number of houses left.

[John P]

Loss of denisty is not necessarily a bad thing if its the wrong kind of density. Springfield is a good example.
