Map of Metro Atlanta
Greetings,

Regarding your below map:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Atlanta-suburbs.png

Forsyth County had a population of 175,000+ people in 2010 and, given its relatively small area, is more than dense enough to be considered one of Metro Atlanta's second-tier counties (Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb would be first-tier).

Compared to, say, Lamar County (population under 17,000), with a population 1/10th as much, I think there is a difference between second-ring counties (such as Rockdale, Coweta, Forsyth) and outer-edge counties that may be counted as part of a "statistical" area, but don't really feel like metro Atlanta (i.e., Lamar, Butts, Polk, Pickens, etc).

So, could you update your map? Ryoung 122 17:14, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Forsyth county is not considered inner-tier metro Atlanta and therefore should not go on the map. Cumming is already on the map. Netdragon (talk) 02:38, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * After some time thinking about this, I think the map should just reflect MSA. The list of "main" counties probably came from self-serving Atlanta city planner type sources originally.

 * I should mention that these definitions may change eventually, so an eye should be kept on this. The main counties were designated decades ago when Forsyth, Cherokee, Paulding, Douglas, etc didn't have that many people. However, until a majority of people and authorities depict Forsyth as a main county, it should remain ancillary Netdragon (talk) 19:17, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
