I am going to type in CAPS to answer your questions after the question (this is when I wish we could type in color different font.)
You live closer and are more in touch. Give us your analysis. What are the demographics.
1. I WOULD SAY IT IS PARTLY THE HISPANICS, BUT IN SOME AREAS, IT IS AFRICAN AMERICAN. STONECREST MALL WAS BUILT ON THE DEKALB/ROCKDALE COUNTY LINE WITH TAX INCENTIVES BY THE STATE (BECAUSE IT TOOK ABOUT 14 YEARS TO BUILD ON THE PROPERTY DESIGNATED FOR A MALL). IT IS LOCATED IN A PREDOMINATELY AFFLUENT - UPPER MIDDLE CLASS A-A POPULATION IN DEKALB COUNTY. IT WAS TOUTED AS THE PREMIER A-A MALL. OPRAH WINFREY AND EBONY MAGAZINE (TWICE) CLAIMED THE PLACE TO BE WAS NEAR THE MALL. ROCKDALE COUNTY SCHOOLS WERE SUPERIOR. A-A CAME FROM NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA, AND BOUGHT UP REAL ESTATE. I HAVE NOT SEEN BUT HEARD, THAT CONYERS (ROCKDALE COUNTY) IS THE FASTEST GROWING A-A POPULATION IN THE U.S. CLAYTON COUNTY -SOUTH OF ATLANTA - (JONESBORO) IS MAJORITY A-A.
Where is the population change coming from. Data on age of population changes might give indictions of retirements community growth?
2. GO TO ROCKDALE COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WEBSITE. AND OTHER COUNTIES, TOO. IT WILL TELL THE MOST RECENT DEMOGRAPHIC INFLUX. I DON'T THINK IT'S RETIREMENT AGE. RETIREES ARE SPREADING OUT AND GOING TO OCONEE COUNTY (REYNOLDS PLANTATION), WATKINSVILLE (CLARKE? COUNTY), WHITE COUNTY(MOUNTAINS). BUT I DON'T THINK - BUT MAYBE - LIBERTY COUNTY, NEAR SAVANNAH MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE COUNTIES - IS THE ONLY ONE NEAR GEORGIA COAST, IF IT ONE AT ALL. I WILL TRY TO FIND THOSE COUNTIES AGAIN. MOST WERE LOCATED AROUND ATLANTA.
Demographics on culture or creed might give indications of whether the flight from South of the Border (Hispanic) is settling in the area.
3. THERE IS AN INFLUX OF HISPANIC IN MANY COUNTIES. SOME COUNTIES YOU WOULDN'T THINK OF, BUT NOT ON THE LIST. AND YES, THE COUNTIES ON THE LIST.
Job markets might indicate whether there is growth in a job market like high tech or auto industry. Are certain suburbs such as Atlanta filtrating out much as has happened in Montgomery, Alabama but to a much larger extent population wise
4. OH, YES. EITHER WHITE FLIGHT OR RETIREMENT AGE IS MOVING ON OUT FURTHER FROM ATLANTA - AN HOUR - BUT WILL STILL BE A PART OF THE ATLANTA LANDSCAPE. CLOSE ENOUGH TO ENJOY ATLANTA ON OCCASSION, BUT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE IN THEIR TOWNS, WHICH WERE LITTLE TOWNS, BUT QUICKLY ACCOMODATING THEIR NEW ARRIVALS WITH RESTAURANTS, AMPHITHEATRES, RECREATION, SHOPS, THINGS TO DO.
OH, AND SCHOOLS.
. There is even the possibly and different reason for each community growth in those Georgia areas.
Every retirement seminar tells future retires of the baby boomer generation the negative aspects of retiring in Florida.
5. WHAT IS THEIR TAX BREAK IN FLORIDA? I FORGOT.
My mail box is stuffed on literature for communiites in North and South Carolina. Is it possible that the overflow or influx is going into the Georgia Communities near there.
Give us your analysis.
Property taxes in many areas are eating people's lunch that are retired and on fixed incomes. They just dramatically reduced the property tax rate in counties around me in Virginia (reduction of 20 to 30 cents per hundred) but the escalations in appraised property values have continued to raise propety tax by over four to five hundred dollars a year per average piece of property. Property owners are sometimes finding their tax and insurance bills higher than their mortgage. Some imigrant children numbers in public schools is overtaking the budgets of many communities.
Why it it jawgagal? Give us your view.
I HOPE I HAVE GIVEN AN OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS. WILL RESEARCH MORE FOR YOU WHEN I HAVE TIME.
