A dataset listing Georgia cities by population for 2024.

This layer was developed by the Research & Analytics Group of the Atlanta Regional Commission, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2013-2017, to show levels of educational attainment by State of Georgia in the Atlanta region. The user should note that American Community Survey data represent estimates derived from a surveyed sample of the population, which creates some level of uncertainty, as opposed to an exact measure of the entire population (the full census count is only conducted once every 10 years and does not cover as many detailed characteristics of the population). Therefore, any measure reported by ACS should not be taken as an exact number – this is why a corresponding margin of error (MOE) is also given for ACS measures. The size of the MOE relative to its corresponding estimate value provides an indication of confidence in the accuracy of each estimate. Each MOE is expressed in the same units as its corresponding measure; for example, if the estimate value is expressed as a number, then its MOE will also be a number; if the estimate value is expressed as a percent, then its MOE will also be a percent. The user should also note that for relatively small geographic areas, such as census tracts shown here, ACS only releases combined 5-year estimates, meaning these estimates represent rolling averages of survey results that were collected over a 5-year span (in this case 2013-2017). Therefore, these data do not represent any one specific point in time or even one specific year. For geographic areas with larger populations, 3-year and 1-year estimates are also available. For further explanation of ACS estimates and margin of error, visit Census ACS website.

A dataset listing Georgia counties by population for 2024.

This layer was developed by the Research & Analytics Division of the Atlanta Regional Commission to represent the United States Census Bureau's 2000 Decennial Census data at the block geography.Attributes:FIPSSTCO = The Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) state and county codes. FIPS codes were formerly known as Federal Information Processing Standards codes, until the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced its decision in 2005 to remove geographic entity codes from its oversight. The Census Bureau continues to maintain and issue codes for geographic entities covered under FIPS oversight, albeit with a revised meaning for the FIPS acronym. Geographic entities covered under FIPS include states, counties, congressional districts, core based statistical areas, places, county subdivisions, subminor civil divisions, consolidated cities, and all types of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian areas. FIPS codes are assigned alphabetically according to the name of the geographic entity and may change to maintain alphabetic sort when new entities are created or names change. FIPS codes for specific geographic entity types are usually unique within the next highest level of geographic entity with which a nesting relationship exists. For example, FIPS state, congressional district, and core based statistical area codes are unique within nation; FIPS county, place, county subdivision, and subminor civil division codes are unique within state. The codes for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian areas also are unique within state; those areas in multiple states will have different codes for each state.TRACT2000 = Census Tract Codes and Numbers. Census tracts are identified by an up to four-digit integer number and may have an optional two-digit suffix; for example 1457.02 or 23. The census tract codes consist of six digits with an implied decimal between the fourth and fifth digit corresponding to the basic census tract number but with leading zeroes and trailing zeroes for census tracts without a suffix. The tract number examples above would have codes of 145702 and 002300, respectively.BLOCK2000= Census Block Numbers are numbered uniquely with a four-digit census block number from 0000 to 9999 within census tract, which nest within state and county. The first digit of the census block number identifies the block group. Block numbers beginning with a zero (in Block Group 0) are only associated with water-only areas.STFID = A concatenation of FIPSSTCO, TRACT2000, and BLOCK2000, which creates the entire FIPS code for this geography.WFD = Workforce Development Area (WFD) is a seven-county area created by agreement of county chief-elected officials, administered by the Atlanta Regional Commission and funded for training and employment activities under the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA). For more information on ARC’s Workforce Development programs and services please consult www.atlantaregional.com/workforce/workforce.html.RDC_AAA = ARC Area Agency on Aging is a 10-county area funded by the Department of Human Resources and designated by the Older Americans Act to plan for the needs of the rapidly expanding group of older citizens in the Atlanta region. It is part of a statewide network of 12 AAAs and a national network of more than 670 AAAs. For more information on aging services please consult www.agewiseconnection.com.MNGWPD = The Metro North Georgia Water Planning District provides water resource plans, policies and coordination for metropolitan Atlanta. The District has developed regional plans for stormwater management, wastewater treatment and water supply and water conservation. The 15-county Water Planning District includes the ten counties in the ARC plus five additional counties (Bartow, Coweta, Forsyth, Hall, & Paulding). For more information please consult www.northgeorgiawater.org. MPO = The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a 19-county area federally-designated for regional transportation planning to meet air quality standards and for programming projects to implement the adopted Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The MPO planning area boundary includes the 10-county state-designated Regional Commission and nine additional counties (all of Coweta, Forsyth, & Paulding and parts of Barrow, Dawson, Newton, Pike, Spalding and Walton). This boundary takes into consideration both the current urbanized area as well as areas forecast to become urbanized in the next 20 years.MSA = the 29-County “Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA” Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the 39-county “Atlanta--Athens-Clarke County--Sandy Springs, GA” Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which includes the 29 counties of the Atlanta MSA along with the Athens-Clarke County and Gainesville MSAs and the micropolitan statistical areas of Calhoun, Cedartown, Jefferson, LaGrange and Thomaston, GA. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defines CSAs, MSAs and the smaller micropolitan statistical areas nationwide according to published standards applied to U.S. Census Bureau data. These various statistical areas describe substantial core areas of population together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration, often illustrated in high rates of commuting from the adjacent areas to job locations in the core. For more information, please consult http://www.census.gov/population/metro/data/metrodef.htmlF1HR_NA = The Federal 1-Hour Air Quality Non-Attainment Area is a fine particulate matter standard (PM2.5). The non-attainment area under this standard includes the 15-county eight-hour ozone nonattainment area plus Barrow, Carroll, Hall, Spalding, Walton, and small parts of Heard and Putnam counties.F8HR_NA: The Federal 8-Hour Air Quality Non-Attainment Area for the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard is 15 counties.ACRES = The number of acres contained within the Block.SQ_MILES = The number of square miles contained within the Block.Source: United States Census Bureau, Atlanta Regional CommissionDate: 2000For additional information, please visit the Atlanta Regional Commission at www.atlantaregional.com
