Magic City don't play

Are you just trying to be damned hard-headed? I'm a black woman. I lived in Georgia. There are not more black people than white in the metro area. Personal knowledge aside, you're reading the wrong chart. There are two charts in that section under "City of Atlanta". I see what section you're talking about. But just like you just said, when you think of Atlanta, you don't think of only Atlanta, the City Of, which is a smaller area. That metro ATL information is on the same page. Metro ATL has a pop of 5mil+. The chart you're looking at says 420,000. Are you thinking that's a metro population size for a major city??

Maybe there's a difference between Atlanta metro (which is not shown in the census section there) and Atlanta proper but I assure you when I refer to NYC I don't ever mean Manhattan only I always think of all the boroughs.

And I gave you the stats for the Metro area.. I even stated that. Why would you give stats for Atlanta proper then tell me I'm wrong? You didn't know the metro stats. If you don't find what you're looking for, look again.

I gave you the info for the page for the metro area info but here's a direct link so you can't miss it. Your other chart and info is there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Atlanta

Note the population noted in the first paragraph. Then click on or look in the section "Metro Atlanta", under "City of Atlanta".

In case you think something is off with that, read on.

White Americans made up 55.4% of metro Atlanta's population, a relative decrease from 63.0% ten years earlier, but still an absolute increase of over 330,000 people. Non-Hispanic whites dropped from 59.5% to 50.7% of the metro's population, increasing by about 224,000 people.

Black Americans are the largest racial minority with 32.4% of the population, up from 28.9% in 2000. The city of Atlanta has long been regarded as a "black mecca" for its role as a center of black education, political power, wealth, and culture. From 2000-2010, the geographic disbursement of blacks in Metro Atlanta changed radically. Long concentrated in the city of Atlanta and DeKalb County, the black population there dropped while over half a million African Americans settled across other parts of the metro area, including approximately 112,000 in Gwinnett County, 71,000 in Fulton outside Atlanta, 58,000 in Cobb, 50,000 in Clayton, 34,000 in Douglas, and 27,000 each in Newton and Rockdale Counties.[68]
