Screenshot of a map of Georgia that shows racial demographics and population density. Black Georgians are concentrated in the southeast, south and west parts of metro Atlanta. White people are concentrated in the north and northeast parts of the metro. Hispanic residents cluster around I-85 on the northeast side and many Asians call the far northeast suburbs home. About 40 to 50 miles outside of Atlanta, population density drops off quickly. In other cities like Columbus, macon and Augusta, the black-white segregation is visible on this map.
