Summary : A limited number of centrographic techniques are applied to data for total population, black population, households by income quartiles, and housing characteristics for the five-country metropolitan region of Atlanta over the period from 1940 to 1975. Results of the analysis are compared to expectations from urban economic theory, and discrepancies are noted. In particular, the behavior of the housing market indicates there was a substantial expansion of moderate income rental and for-sale units at the periphery to accommodate in-migrants to the region.
