Every metro, every metric

WeakStrong Each cell is min-max ranked across the 14 metros; good/bad direction follows the metric (e.g. lower unemployment = stronger). Neutral metrics (median age) are shaded grey.

Compare 2–3 metros, side by side

Pick a theme and overlay metros on the radar. 100 = best in GA on that axis, 0 = worst; metrics where lower is better (unemployment, costs, rent burden) are inverted so outward always means stronger.

Each axis is min-max normalized across the 14 GA MSAs to 0-100, so "100" means best-in-Georgia on that axis, not an absolute level.

Metro profile

Where one metro stands on every indicator vs. the 14-metro field. Each bar is the metro's rank-percentile (centre line = the GA-metro median); the rank shows its place out of 14.

Georgia metros, mapped

Each metro's counties are shaded by its MSA-wide value for the chosen metric. Non-metro counties are left blank.

Counties are colored by the value for the metro they belong to (MSA-level data has no sub-county detail). Cross-state metros (Augusta GA-SC, Columbus GA-AL) include their border counties.
