The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) conducts the Metro Atlanta Speaks public opinion survey to take the pulse of metro Atlanta residents and help guide the region’s planning and decision-making. The survey, which began in 2013, is the largest of its kind in the Atlanta region. It offers a snapshot of residents’ views on a range of critical issues such as transportation, the economy, housing, and neighborhood quality of life. In 2023, Metro Atlanta Speaks covers a 11-county region and is statistically significant to the county level, as well as for the City of Atlanta.
The 2023 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey, conducted by Kennesaw State University’s A.L. Burruss Institute of Public Service and Research on behalf of the Atlanta Regional Commission, was a hybrid phone and online instrument. It asked 21 questions of 4,852 people across 11 counties about key quality-of-life issues in August 2023.
Crime and the economy are the Atlanta region’s top concerns, according to the 2023 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey.
