Georgia grew substantially more diverse over the last 10 years as its Black, Hispanic and Asian populations surged and as its number of white residents dropped slightly, according to a trove of new 2020 U.S. Census data. #gapol ajc.com/news/feds-set-…

Some of the state's fastest growing counties are exurban areas ringing Atlanta (Cherokee, Forsyth) and communities outside of Savannah (Bryan, Effingham) & Athens (Barrow, Oconee.) #gapol
