Echoing Viviana...Atlanta has job growth which of course brings in more people. Our low cost of living compared to other major cities (Chicago, New York, DC, LA etc) is attractive to folks from those markets because you can get a somewhat downtown experience, pro sports teams, culture/sights/attractions at a comparatively affordable price. Your money goes further here. I will say our public transit is not the best and that's due to voting patterns and racism / myths about crime. I'm a native, and we are rare because we're used to more open spaces/suburbs so city living isn't as appealing to native Georgians. All these "outsiders" from more expensive cities are snapping up the properties though bc they see the value and opportunity! It's a trend allover the south though, Atlanta, Charlotte, Columbia, Chattanooga. I just think we're the best :)
