Spalding
6.2
Lower score (below 6)
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding County south of Atlanta, with a historically textile-based economy that has contracted significantly. The downtown has been in a long decline and the county sits in an awkward in-between position — close enough to Atlanta to feel its shadow, not close enough to benefit from its energy. That combination of economic depression and Atlanta proximity creates a social environment that's worse than purely rural Georgia in some ways.
