Whitfield
7.0
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Dalton is the carpet capital of the world — roughly 80% of the world's commercial carpet is manufactured in or near this county — and that industry pulled in a large Mexican immigrant population over the past four decades, making Whitfield one of the most Hispanic counties in Georgia. The cultural mix of Appalachian Georgia and a substantial Latino community creates an unusual social texture compared to most Georgia counties. The Anglo professional class is more insular; the Latino community has its own parallel social world. A foreign man who speaks Spanish or has Latin American roots would find unexpected traction here relative to the county's surface appearance.
