Atlanta: One Of Top 10 Metros With People Willing To Be ‘Super Commuters”

If you’re a property investor, you should know, people are willing to be “super commuters” just to work in Atlanta. People seek cheaper housing away from the inner city, and are willing to drive for over 90-minutes just to work in the city. The trend is similar all across the nation, but Atlanta has an increasingly high number of super-commuters. That means that if you can snag a home outside of Atlanta, it might still be a good investment.

A whopping 4 percent of Atlanta’s working population commutes great distances to work. The city ranks ninth on the list of top ten metros in the entire nation for the highest concentration of super commuters. It has a robust economy and plenty of great jobs. The trend is only expected to increase with population growth. Households are priced out of the inner suburbs and far out of the inner city for many Georgians. So, while looking for areas to create rental properties or flip houses, take a look outside of the city, past the inner suburbs. You’ll likely find a gem in the rough worth investing in.
