Atlanta Faces Growing Pains From Population Surge
Atlanta area absorbs 16 percent population rise from 1990 to 1996 boosting to 3.54 million across 20 counties. Traffic gridlock on Fulton and Cobb County corridors spurs backup, light timing changes, and a call for better transit. DeKalb and Clayton see more subdivisions, deer collisions, and bears raiding garbage. Schools expand with mobile classrooms while water and development rules strain infrastructure. The regional shift risks eroding local culture and identity as area codes split and residents adapt to rapid change.
