Georgia cities — momentum scores, home values & rankings

All states·Georgia

150 Georgia cities tracked. Sorted by composite momentum score (home prices, rent, population).

Long thesis

The state's pop-weighted momentum is 62/100, and only 0 of 140 tracked cities are in the 'Declining' tier. That's a healthier distribution than most states. Bull case: the average is good, and the bottom of the distribution isn't ugly.

Short thesis

The bear case is the boring one: the median market is fine but the cycle is real. Watch the cities at the bottom of this state's distribution as the early-warning signal.
