While many know of Atlanta as a large metro with Southern Charm, a recent post from the Movoto Real Estate site shares a different opinion. In fact, Atlanta was named among the top ten snobbiest cities in the country, alongside other massive metros like San Francisco, Seattle, and more.
The full list (in order) is as follows:
San Francisco, CA
Washington, D.C.
Seattle, WA
Scottsdale, AZ
Oakland, CA
Portland, OR
Irvine, CA
Honolulu, HI
Madison, WI
Atlanta, GA
So how were these cities chosen? According to Movoto’s site, they used a variety of criteria such as median home prices and household income, private schools and art galleries per capita, lowest percentages of fast food restaurants and percentage of people with college degrees, as well as a few other criteria. Atlanta is filled with higher education graduates, and almost 50 percent of the population has a college degree. It had the fourth most art galleries per capita in the country, and in fact, has the most theatres per capita in America. Moving to Atlanta? Be sure to brush up on art, literature, and other fine arts to seamlessly blend in.
