Decatur: a Retirement Haven?
Decatur Metro | September 25, 2008 | 1:40 pmIf you thought that Georgia didn’t have a dedicated retirement magazine all to itself, you’d be wrong. And if you thought they’d never list Cobb County and Decatur in the same top 10 list, you’d also be wrong.
Retire in Georgia magazine recently ranked Decatur among the top 10 places to retire in the state due to its walkability and whatnot. However a quick look at some census data shows that those over 60 are still a pretty small minority in terms of the zipcode’s total population, outnumbered by infants, not to mention the 30-somethings. Then again…which areas of the city aren’t dominated by 30-somethings?
What else does this graph say to me? If you’re a 21 year-old straight guy looking for a mate in this zipcode…you’ve gotta like your odds…even if some of the ladies aren’t interested.
Other in the top 10: Moultrie? Dublin? Uh, I think maybe I’d rather not retire.
