By anchoring MSA population numbers as a critical metric for identifying Atlanta's peer metros we learned about its dual nature: how it plays an important role without determining metro-to-metro proximity.

As two very distinct metros, we are exploring which metros are the true peers for Atlanta and Louisville when we use the housing stability lens.

We frame peer-ness through metrics that are commonly tied to housing stability and by using population-based measures.

Stay tuned.
When it comes to housing stability, who are Metro Atlanta's peer metros?

Apparently, it matters to make distinctions between disadvantaged neighborhoods. Unlike fully disadvantaged neighborhoods that gain no traction relative to metro level socioeconomic metrics, mostly disadvantaged neighborhoods gain one foothold.
See what this means...

Continuing on the theme of Metro Atlanta's fully disadvantaged neighborhoods, when it comes to their racial/ethnic demography they are majority-Black, on average (see graph).

Fully disadvantaged neighborhoods make up the highest percentage of neighborhoods across the five categories and these neighborhoods are home to the highest percentage of households (see table below).

Another key asset multiplier is seizing the opportunity to combine the hard-won institutional knowledge of one’s organization with the double-sided expertise of a research collaborator.

A nonprofit’s service providers are critical to mission fulfillment. These souls can be likened to the ‘hands’ of the organization, who are handling the day-to-day tasks and staying in contact with the communities being served. They can also be likened to the glue holding the organization together.

The opportunity enshrined by this outlook is seeing collaborations aimed at forward movement as asset multipliers with the potential to seed tremendous growth, however it is internally defined.
November 19, 2025 at 6:44 PM
For nonprofits, especially, asset multiplication is critical in an environment where the growing list of community needs is outpacing funding levels. In such environments nonprofits are challenged to widen their donor bases while sustaining their existing relationships.

In our everyday lives it is natural to take important relationships for granted. But nonprofit leaders who recognize that relationships are a vital currency cannot afford any gaps in awareness.
