ATLANTA — Everyone knows Midtown and Buckhead in Atlanta, but have you ever heard of Polar Rock?
How about Florida Heights? Niskey Cove? Joyland?
There are dozens and dozens of officially designated neighborhoods in Atlanta that often go overlooked.
Below, as a resource, we provide a list of all 248 neighborhoods by population, recently included in data here (note: the data is part of a Georgia Tech heat mapping study and may not 100% align with other sources.
We also understand what constitutes a neighborhood, where neighborhoods begin and end and how they might be historically referred to can all be hotly debated; here, we're just going by the Georgia Tech data ).
