Atlanta's collar counties have swung sharply toward Democrats over the past decade, driven by college-educated suburban migration and a growing Black professional class, narrowing what was once reliably Republican territory to a D+6.7 margin in 2024.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 83.5 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 45.0 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 1.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 13.7 points.
A population of 6,256,377, a 43% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $91,036 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Richmond, VA and Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC.
