ATLANTA’S CAR FREE
Livability Map
ATLANTA’S CAR FREE LIVABILITY MAP
Car Free
Livability Map
Atlanta’s Transportation Plan (ATP) is the access strategy for The Atlanta City Design- it’s our blueprint for creating a
comprehensive transportation network that will provide all Atlantans with the efficient, safe, and equitable mobility
options that will support healthy and inclusive growth.
A critical component of this effort- and the larger vision of The Atlanta City Design- is reducing Atlanta’s dependency
on automobiles.
Atlanta’s Car-Free Livability Map allows us to analyze the suitability of areas within our city for car-free living.
Developed as an outgrowth of the ATP, this map represents a uniquely customized and data-driven tool for assessing
existing conditions, evaluating our progress as we work to create a less car-dependent Atlanta, and engaging with
citizens, stakeholders, and partner agencies.

DIVIDING THE CITY FOR ANALYSIS Livability Map
An initial challenge: How to best divide the city for analysis?
The benefits of using Neighborhood Statistical Areas (NSAs - as established by the ARC):
NSAs:
1) Are comprised of census blocks
2) Nest within our established NPUs
3) Have a minimum population of 2,000
4) Assign territory to one, and only one, area
5) Have pre-existing demographic information curated by the ARC
