You could look in the NW corner - I think someone mentioned Bolton - but those areas are just now starting to change over, so you would have to decide if you are comfortable being in a transition neighborhood for a while. I would say they are where East Atlanta Village/Edgewood areas were 10 years ago or so.
Eh, I am biased against the eastside but I'd definitely live in Bolton over EAV/Edgewood, even now.

I would move to LR before the other cities. Atlanta and Memphis are ghetto just like New Orleans high crime rates.

None of the areas discussed in this 5 page thread are ghetto, and Atlanta has by far the most upside of the three.
LR or Memphis may be a better choice for OP, but people who think intown Atlanta is some solid ghetto shithole clearly haven't been here in a decade.

Such an ignorant statement.

Whatever you do do not include your girlfriends salary as part of your income when selecting a place to live, assume that she will bail and go back home once she misses her family and friends and says "peace out" leaving you high and dry.

If you move to Atlanta, w/ a combined income of $95k, Clayton County sounds like the place for you. It's a quiet, inexpensive little community just south of the airport. Lots to do down there. Very peaceful. Forget about traffic, you can take the bus. It's a very diverse community. Lots of high quality Americans sending their children to some of the best schools in the area.
Better step back bitch I was born in Riverdale

Stop trolling. Clayton County sucks, their schools suck and the idea of taking a bus (or more likely a dozen buses) from Clayton County to where he would work in Northwest Atlanta is ridiculous. This post was edited on 3/23/16 at 2:12 pm

I am 100% certain that you have not once visited most of the places that us actual residents have listed.

cool, now pull the demographics for buckhead, brookhaven, dunwoody, sandy springs, etc and the other places that we've been mentioning.
News flash: the dude isn't going to buy a place next to the georgia dome, which I imagine is the only area of atlanta most of you fricks have ever been.

If you live in town Atlanta, you will encounter minorities every day. Just how it is.
But honestly, midtown feels whiter than buckhead, and both may feel whiter than a lot of the suburbs these days.
If you go to the movies or a mall or the like, it'll be heavily mixed. But almost all of the intown neighborhoods listed are very white. I'm not trying to sell whiteness, Atlanta is a diverse city and if you can't deal with it, you'll have to look elsewhere. But there aren't a lot of places in the South that are worthwhile that aren't mixed.
Statistics are skewed (or it seems so to locals) because most of us forget that half the city sits below I-20. Areas below I-20 may as well be unmapped in my mind. It's indian country, I have no clue what happens there unless I pass over it on MARTA going to the airport. Ponce is my personal I-20.

these are just directions, not neighborhoods. From your link:
Paces, Margaret Mitchell, Mt. Paran/Northside, Chastain Park - 92% white
Whittier Mill Village, Riverside, Bolton, Underwood Hills, Huff Rd in W Midtown, Berkeley Park- 60% white
Virginia-Highland, Morningside/Lenox Park
Inman Park, Candler Park, Poncey-Highland, Reynoldstown, Cabbagetown, Lake Claire - 80% white
dunwoody- 70% white
sandy springs- 78% white
smyrna- 82% white
I'm not getting into a "you should only live around white people" thing here, just pointing out that many of the places that Atlanta residents have mentioned are predominately white, which would directly refute the fact that "Atlanta is ghetto".
It all depends on where you go.
eta: for the second time in this thread fogger beat me to the punch

Not sure you realize, but most of what people consider Atlanta is not really the city of Atlanta, which is all your link about demographics is talking about. The city proper has about 448,000 people. The metro area has about 5,500,000 people.
Metro Atlanta is over 50% white, about 32% black, 10% Hispanic, 5% Asian. Since you seem to be hung up on race for some reason, I thought you might be interested.
