County popular with metro-area movers

Article found in todays Cherokee Tribune

An attractive quality of life is pulling metro-area residents to Cherokee County at a high rate, according to a new report. Cherokee ranked second in an Atlanta Regional Commission study of relocation patterns in the 20-county metro area for net residents moving in from other metro counties. The report used data from the Internal Revenue Service from 2000 to 2005, the most recent period for which data is available. According to the report, Cherokee saw 56,178 people move in to the county from other metro counties during that period and 32,378 people move out to other counties, a net of 23,800. Only Henry County saw a bigger net with about 30,000. Finishing behind Cherokee was Forsyth (23,785) and Paulding (20,564) counties. DeKalb County lost the most population to other counties during the period. DeKalb saw a net loss of 80,558 people. Other counties that shed a large amount of residents during the period are Fulton (66,204), Cobb (38,991) and Clayton (10,047). Cherokee's new residents mainly hailed from Cobb County. More than 27,000 people moved slightly north from Cobb to Cherokee during the period. Fulton County lost 13,257 people to Cherokee. In comparison, 14,115 people moved from Cherokee to Cobb and 5,092 people moved from Cherokee to Fulton. Local leaders said the lifestyle available in Cherokee is what is drawing people into the county. Wanda Roach of Canton, a Realtor with Century 21 Max Stancil Realty in Woodstock, said Cherokee has a list of positives going for it. "Cherokee is a very attractive place to live. We have the mountains, a major lake and good recreation. The schools are great, and the taxes are still good," she said. She said Cherokee also offers more room to people who are living in heavily populated areas.

Cherokee County Housing Starts UP in March - Cherokee County GA

04-06-08
RE/MAX Town and Country

Have you seen the latest news in the Cherokee Tribune ? ? ?

"Housing starts UP for March" . . . the headline reads

(just to clarify, that's not a typo. At first glance you may think they had a blooper on the first page, but it is not. The stats are also up, but that is not what they meant.)

"Housing starts" as defined in wikipedia, are used in the United States of America as an indicator of the state of the economy. Housing Starts are the number of privately owned new homes (technically housing units) on which construction has been started over some period. Housing starts are an important economic indicator because they show how much money the general public has. If there is a rise in housing starts it likely means there is more money in the economy. Additionally if there are more Housing Starts in a time period the Federal Funds Rate is presumably low enough for individuals to be willing to borrow money from banks.

Here are the stats of the "Housing Starts"

  • County and City building departments issued 123 single family housing permits in March, an increase from 98 issued in February (but still down from 314 issued in March last year)
  • The Cherokee County Building Department issued 58 single family permits in March, up slightly from 57 issued in February (but still down from 182 issued in March of last year)
  • The Canton Building Department issued 25 permits in March, up from only 8 in February (but still down from 37 issued in March of last year)
  • Woodstock issued 16 permits in March, up from only 10 issued in February (but down from 39 issued in March of last year)
  • Holly Springs issued 22 permits in March, up slightly from 21 issued in February (but still down from 51 issued in March of last year)
