(WSBTV ATLANTA) – Atlanta added more than 75,000 residents in the past year and increased its population by 1.7 percent.

According to a report released by the Atlanta Regional Commission, the 10-county Atlanta region added 75,800 new residents from April 2017 to April 2018. The population now stands at 4,555,900. That’s more than 25 states.

“People are moving to metro Atlanta because of our strong, diverse economy and our great quality of life,” said Mike Carnathan, manager of ARC’s Research & Analytics Group. “We’re seeing growth across metro Atlanta.”
