The job is in Atlanta, GA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Atlanta compares. Among the 100 largest places in Georgia, Atlanta is #1 by population, #10 for remote work (#1 = most), #15 for college degrees (#1 = most), #73 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Fulton County, is #1 of 159 counties for average pay ($100,817).
The place in numbers
Atlanta has 505,268 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.6% of the population of Georgia. It covers 135 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,734 people per square mile. The median age is 34.2, 9% younger than the state median (34.2 against 37.6).
Housing
The median gross rent is $1,711 a month (rent plus utilities), 23% above the state median ($1,711 against $1,393). Over a year that is 24.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $439,600, which is 5.1 times the median household income ($85,652); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 46.4% of households own their home, 29% below the state average (46.4% against 65.7%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
Work and pay
The Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA metropolitan area has 2,889,670 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,170 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,170 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (328,500 jobs, median $47,040); transportation and material moving (313,910 jobs, median $44,120); sales and related (277,630 jobs, median $37,550). The area is most specialised in business and financial operations (1.3 times) and legal (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($130,550) and computer and mathematical ($110,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fulton County was 3.6%. 68.7% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fulton County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Getting around
Among workers, 52.9% drive alone, 5.7% use public transit, 3.9% walk, 29.7% work from home. 14.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 28% below the state average (14.2% against 19.8%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
People and education
59.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 69% above the state share (59.2% against 35.0%). 9.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 19% below the state share (9.0% against 11.2%). The poverty rate is 16.9%, 27% above the state rate (16.9% against 13.4%).
Climate
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 80°F (26.5°C), and the coolest is Jan at 40°F (4.7°C). About 1,292 mm (51 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Oct the driest (88 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Nearby cities to compare
Closest cities in this guide: North Druid Hills (7 miles, rent 10% higher); East Point (7 miles, rent 20% lower); Vinings (7 miles, rent 7% higher); Decatur (7 miles, rent 3% lower). Rent differences are against Atlanta; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
