#10  Trying to find a place in the vicinity of Canton or Woodstock. Cherokee County appears to be the last bastion of hope.

#1  While this area is not Ghetto slum. But it does have a serious interloper/Thug problem from surrounding areas.

The Edgewood neighborhood in Atlanta is middle income and mainly white. So those shot were more than likely White.

Edgewood-Kirkwood:
* crime rates are 85% higher than the national average
* Violent crimes are 31% higher than the national average
* safer than 81% of the cities in Georgia


BTW: Atlanta in general ranks higher in crime than most cities.
