also surprised to see Miami so strong and JAX so weak for UF
Surprised me too, but they’re probably counting the Miami metro area as everything from Homestead up to Jupiter, and there are millions of people in that strip.

Funny that people want to dump on Atlanta so often yet so many people choose to live here to better their lives. Hmmm
How many of those individuals actually live in Atlanta though.
Yeah. A better breakdown would be ITP and OTP for the ATL.

Arkansas (50.3% major metros)
1. Little Rock (10.9%)
2. Dallas (8.3%)
3. Houston (2.5%)
4. Memphis (2.1%)
5. New York City (1.8%)
The number one place for Arkansas graduates is NWA, which is not considered a move, nor a "major metro" (yet).

It's far and away the biggest city in the south. It's bigger than Charlotte, Nashville, and Memphis combined, which are cities #2-4 in the 'traditional' (i.e. non-Texas and non-Florida) south.

Take into account the sprawl that Atlanta has experienced. Most people who work in Atlanta don't actually live in Atlanta. The Metro region is nearly 6 million people.

Metro areas are a better gauge of "big cities". People in San Antonio like to brag that "San Antonio is larger than Dallas", while that's technically true, Dallas is a much "bigger city" because of its connected metropolitan area.

Yea, the city of Atlanta is really small geographically too. Unlike a lot of other cities that annexed in smaller cities outside their borders (Philadelphia is a prime example), Atlanta never did.
There are 9 separate cities located primarily inside the perimeter (Atlanta, Decatur, Brookhaven, Chamblee, Doraville, Avondale Estates, Hapeville, College Park, East Point) , which is basically seen as being "the city" part of the Metro area. Those cities have roughly 260K people, and that doesn't count the unincorporated regions ITP that aren't in those cities or the city of Atlanta. And, that obviously doesn't include a lot of the bigger suburb cities (Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Duluth, Norcross, Stone Mountain, Smyrna, etc). In a lot of big cities the geographical footprint of their city borders would include ALL of that.

Surprised Birmingham isn't in Miss State's top 5. There seems to have been an influx of MSU grads here over the past 10 or so years.
There are a bunch in Huntsville as well.

What does it matter?I'm sure the stat is for the metro areas of all cities listed.
Metro Atl has a population of about 5.7 million and the last estimate I heard for ITP population is around 750k
So I'm assuming a majority would be OTP but not that far outside the loop.

The reference was towards "dumping on atlanta" and i replied to the question of how many people live ITP.
The fact the 7:1 "Atlantans" choose to live outside the perimeter is a testimony that there is roughly 2 Atlantas. They are very different politically. Very different in how they choose to raise families. In order to "dump on Atlanta", one may need to specify which one is being referenced (itp or otp).

OTP metro is also 10X the size as ITP so it obviously makes sense more people would live there.
Also the price of homes ITP prevents many folks from choosing to live there.
I would also add there are 2 different AtLantas ITP.You
think folks living in Buckhead,Vinings,North Decatur,Brookhavem,Emory and Inman Park are all that much different the folks living in John's Creek,Roswell,Dunwoody,Sugarloaf and Sandy Springs?(part ITP BTW)
Also if you look at the last Atlanta mayoral race the votes cast in the democratic runoff for Mary Norwood
and Bottoms went pretty much along racial lines in the
city.And if people in the newly annexed part of CDC and Emory were allowed to vote Mary Norwood would have won.

I have family ITP. I don't live there myself. I will trust you that there are 2 different Atlantas ITP.
But you may need a map (or travel OTP) if you think Johns Creek or Sugarloaf are anywhere inside the perimeter.

You misunderstood.I was comparing ITP neighbourhoods to
OTP neighboorhoods/cities.The latter groups were obviously OTP.
The 2 Atlantas I was referring to (ITP)were the 1st group of neighboorhoods vs areas like SW Atlanta,West Atlanta,Fort Mac,Lakewood,Summerhill,East Point,College
Park etc
