Statistics
The Atlanta Regional Commission publishes newsletters about different "foreign" and Generation 1.5 populations in the metro. Read about everybody from Eritreans to Koreans to Iranians in nice 6-page booklets. The maps are cool; they plot where in the 10-county metro area different people are concentrated. Its part of the Global Atlanta Works initiative.
However, unfortunately their calculations are based on the 2000 census, which is madly outdated with respect to the metro's international population. Just offhand, AG knows much higher estimates of Atlanta's Korean population (up to 150,000 vs. ARC's 18,000 ), and Indonesian population (up to 6,000 vs. 1,400). ¶ 2:20 PM
