Comparing the wealth of the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA and Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX metropolitan areas involves analyzing key economic indicators for these broader regions, which include surrounding suburbs and counties.
Key Economic Indicators (Metro Areas)
Median Household Income (2023, U.S. Census Bureau estimates):
Atlanta Metro: ~$85,200.

Houston Metro: ~$74,300.

Analysis: Atlanta’s higher median household income suggests greater wealth among typical households.

Per Capita Income (2023, U.S. Census Bureau):
Atlanta Metro: ~$47,900.

Houston Metro: ~$41,100.



Cost of Living:
Atlanta Metro’s cost of living is ~10-15% higher than Houston Metro’s. Median home prices: ~$410,000 (Atlanta) vs. ~$340,000 (Houston). Average rent: ~$1,750 (Atlanta) vs. ~$1,400 (Houston).

Scale: Houston Metro’s population is ~7 million vs. Atlanta Metro’s ~5.9 million. Houston’s larger economy suggests more total wealth, but Atlanta’s higher incomes indicate wealth per person is greater.

Taxes: Houston benefits from Texas’s no state income tax, while Atlanta faces Georgia’s 1-6% income tax. Houston’s higher property taxes (~2.1% vs. ~1.1% effective rate) may offset some savings.

Conclusion
Atlanta Metro has higher median household income ($85,200 vs. $74,300) and per capita income ($47,900 vs. $41,100), suggesting greater individual wealth. Houston Metro has a larger economy (~$633 billion vs. $525 billion) and lower living costs, indicating more aggregate wealth. For per-person wealth, Atlanta Metro is wealthier; for total economic wealth, Houston Metro leads. Given the focus on metro area wealth, Atlanta Metro’s higher per capita income makes it wealthier.

There's lots of stories about being a broke college student in this thread, but I don't think that really qualifies for the OP's question.

Also, if you are going out drinking at bars, you are not "broke"

for sure. it's a form of stolen valor

Ive never had less than a few thousand dollars to my name

If they are testing for THC (weed) you'll pop positive if you drink one, even if it's legal in Louisiana.

probably not

if you don't use any thc and drink one on friday, you will pass a urine test by monday. that might change if you do that every weekend though
