15 Worst Georgia Suburbs Facing Total Housing Decay (BE WARNED)

These 15 Georgia suburbs were mostly built in one burst, between the 1960s and the 1980s. Since then almost nothing new has gone up, owners have been selling to landlords, and home values have slid while the Atlanta metro held steady. We ranked them by how old the housing is, how little is being built, how many owners are leaving and how far values have fallen from the peak. Number one has lost about 6% in the last year alone.
