Do Metro Atlanta Residents
Have Access To Jobs and
Services?
Plan 2040 Goal: Community Development
Atlanta Regional Commission
For more information contact:

Are there enough housing options with
access to jobs?
• The Atlanta region must ensure that there are ample housing options close to
where the jobs are located
• Affordable housing options currently exist throughout the region, but there
are not enough around employment centers
• Families are forced to make tough choice:
• Live close to work, but pay too much for housing?
• Live in affordable community, but pay too much for transport to work?
• We will explore how families make this decision by examining key indicators
relating to job availability, socioeconomics, and quality of life.

Annual Growth Index for Workers:
Centers Compared to Region
Growth in Centers
Growth in Metro
• The chart depicts growth
conditions in 2002 as a baseline
“100,” where each subsequent
year is compared to the
baseline year
• Growth of workers living near
job core and corridors (Centers)
has grown faster than overall
growth of workers in the Metro
area
• Since 2002, job centers have
experienced a 16.5% growth
increase, whereas the Metro
area has only seen about 7%

Residents Who Live and Work in Centers • This chart shows that the
number of workers who both
live and work in these high-
density employment corridors
has risen steadily since 2002
• The Great Recession greatly
impacted development from
2008-2010
• As of 2011, more housing
options have been developed
to meet the demand

Percent of Income Spent on Housing
• The U.S. Census Bureau
tracks housing affordability
by counting how many
people spend more than
30% of their income toward
housing costs
• 39% of all individuals in
metro Atlanta spend at least
30% of their income on
housing (renters & owners)
• A decreasing trend line
indicates improving
conditions with housing

Source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey, Neighborhood Nexus
The reds & oranges show those
areas where people spend more
than 41 percent of their income
on housing costs. These areas
are clustered in the regional
core (south of I-20) as well as
town centers throughout the
region.
Percent of Income Spent on Housing &
Transportation
• Tracking transportation costs
along with housing costs give
us a better picture of
Atlanta’s affordability
• Moderate-income
households (defined as
between 50% and 100% of
median HH income) spent
63% of their incomes on
housing and transportation
combined
• Atlanta falls among the
highest of the top 25 U.S.
metros
Source: Center for Neighborhood Technology
Location Affordability Index – “Typical
Household”
• The Location Affordability Index is
a new tool developed by HUD and
US DOT to look at transportation
and housing costs by
neighborhood
• This map looks at the areas (in
Dark Green) in the Atlanta region
where the typical household could
afford to live and still pay less than
50% of their income on housing
and transportation costs – you see
that there are still several areas
where this is possible
• In metro Atlanta, the “typical”
household has an annual income
of $57,550, a size of 2.69 people
along with 1.21 commuters.
Source: Location Affordability POrtal
Location Affordability Index – “Moderate-
Income” Household
• This map looks at the areas
(in Dark Green) in the Atlanta
region where a “moderate-
income” household could
afford to live and still pay less
than 50% of their income on
housing and transportation
costs. Compared to the last
map, there are a lot fewer
areas where this is possible
• Also notice that these areas
cluster near interstates and
transit service
• In metro Atlanta, the
“moderate-income”
household has an annual
income of $46,060, a size of
2.69 people along with 1.21
commuters.
Source: Location Affordability POrtal
Commute Length
• The shorter the commute,
the more free time workers
will have to enjoy
• Over the 5 year span, about
76% of all metro Atlanta
workers have had a one-way
commute of less than 45
minutes
• Atlanta ranks the 6th lowest
among the top 100 U.S.
metros in terms of workers
with a 45 minute or less
commute time; not a good
metric

• Though difficult to
quantify, art
community vibrancy is
a key feature of “cool”
cities
• In terms of “creative
establishments” per
capita, Atlanta ranks
8th out of the top 25
largest U.S. metros.

Summary
• Atlanta is improving in terms of developing livable communities near job-
dense areas
• However, combined housing and transportation costs in Atlanta are higher
compared to similar U.S. metros
• Commute times in Atlanta remain high compared to the national average,
with little change over the past several years
• Atlanta’s art community is vibrant, outranking 85% of the top 100 U.S.
metros in creative establishments per capita

Do Metro Atlanta Residents Have Access to Jobs & Amenities?

  • 1. Do Metro Atlanta Residents Have Access To Jobs and Services? Plan 2040 Goal: Community Development Atlanta Regional Commission For more information contact: mcarnathan@atlantaregional.com
  • 2. Are there enough housing options with access to jobs? • The Atlanta region must ensure that there are ample housing options close to where the jobs are located • Affordable housing options currently exist throughout the region, but there are not enough around employment centers • Families are forced to make tough choice: • Live close to work, but pay too much for housing? • Live in affordable community, but pay too much for transport to work? • We will explore how families make this decision by examining key indicators relating to job availability, socioeconomics, and quality of life. Source: OnTheMap Program, U.S. Census Bureau
  • 3. Proximity to Jobs 99.85 99.9 99.95 100 100.05 100.1 100.15 100.2 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Annual Growth Index for Workers: Centers Compared to Region Growth in Centers Growth in Metro • The chart depicts growth conditions in 2002 as a baseline “100,” where each subsequent year is compared to the baseline year • Growth of workers living near job core and corridors (Centers) has grown faster than overall growth of workers in the Metro area • Since 2002, job centers have experienced a 16.5% growth increase, whereas the Metro area has only seen about 7% Source: OnTheMap Program, U.S. Census Bureau

  • 6. Percent of Income Spent on Housing • The U.S. Census Bureau tracks housing affordability by counting how many people spend more than 30% of their income toward housing costs • 39% of all individuals in metro Atlanta spend at least 30% of their income on housing (renters & owners) • A decreasing trend line indicates improving conditions with housing affordability Source: OnTheMap Program, U.S. Census Bureau 33.0% 34.0% 35.0% 36.0% 37.0% 38.0% 39.0% 40.0% 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 % Spending At Least 30% of Income on Housing
  • 7. Percent of Income Spent on Housing Source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey, Neighborhood Nexus The reds & oranges show those areas where people spend more than 41 percent of their income on housing costs. These areas are clustered in the regional core (south of I-20) as well as town centers throughout the region.
  • 8. Percent of Income Spent on Housing & Transportation • Tracking transportation costs along with housing costs give us a better picture of Atlanta’s affordability • Moderate-income households (defined as between 50% and 100% of median HH income) spent 63% of their incomes on housing and transportation combined • Atlanta falls among the highest of the top 25 U.S. metros Source: Center for Neighborhood Technology
  • 9. Location Affordability Index – “Typical Household” • The Location Affordability Index is a new tool developed by HUD and US DOT to look at transportation and housing costs by neighborhood • This map looks at the areas (in Dark Green) in the Atlanta region where the typical household could afford to live and still pay less than 50% of their income on housing and transportation costs – you see that there are still several areas where this is possible • In metro Atlanta, the “typical” household has an annual income of $57,550, a size of 2.69 people along with 1.21 commuters. Source: Location Affordability POrtal
  • 10. Location Affordability Index – “Moderate- Income” Household • This map looks at the areas (in Dark Green) in the Atlanta region where a “moderate- income” household could afford to live and still pay less than 50% of their income on housing and transportation costs. Compared to the last map, there are a lot fewer areas where this is possible • Also notice that these areas cluster near interstates and transit service • In metro Atlanta, the “moderate-income” household has an annual income of $46,060, a size of 2.69 people along with 1.21 commuters. Source: Location Affordability POrtal
  • 11. Commute Length • The shorter the commute, the more free time workers will have to enjoy • Over the 5 year span, about 76% of all metro Atlanta workers have had a one-way commute of less than 45 minutes • Atlanta ranks the 6th lowest among the top 100 U.S. metros in terms of workers with a 45 minute or less commute time; not a good metric Source: American Community Survey, Brookings State of Metropolitan America 70.0% 72.0% 74.0% 76.0% 78.0% 80.0% 82.0% 84.0% 100 metro Average Metro Atlanta % of Commuters with Less Than a 45 Minute One-Way Commute To Work, 2010 75% 75% 76% 76% 77% 77% 78% 78% 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 % of Workers With Less Than a 45 Minute Commute To Work
  • 12.

  • 14. • The Metro Atlanta Speaks survey asked residents to rate the availability of cultural events and venues in the Atlanta area. More than two-thirds responded “Excellent” or “Good,” which is very positive.

  • 15. Summary • Atlanta is improving in terms of developing livable communities near job- dense areas • However, combined housing and transportation costs in Atlanta are higher compared to similar U.S. metros • Commute times in Atlanta remain high compared to the national average, with little change over the past several years • Atlanta’s art community is vibrant, outranking 85% of the top 100 U.S. metros in creative establishments per capita
