The 10 Snobbiest Places In Georgia For 2024


The Snobbiest places in Georgia are Milton and Johns Creek for 2024 based on Saturday Night Science.

There are all types when it comes to being a snob in Georgia. You’ve got your Wine Snobs, Book Snobs, and, of course, Clothes Snobs. Then there are the Technology Snobs, Car Snobs, and yes, even City Snobsas in, I’m better than you because I live in (insert snooty city here).

How can we tell which Georgia cities are the snobbiest? By measuring snobby things, that’s how.

We used Saturday Night Science to look at things like expensive homes, high incomes, and overly educated populations by city in Georgia. These are the criteria you’d argue with a friend over a foodie dinner about who’s snobbier.

After analyzing 126 of the state’s most populous areas over 5,000 people, we came up with this ranking of the ten snobbiest places in the state of Georgia.

The Georgian in these places aren’t snobby, they just know they’re better than you.

The most laid back? That would be Camilla.

We’re not so full of ourselves as to make this ranking up from nowhere. So here’s a look at the top ten and more on how we did it. And if you’re curious, Georgia is the 20th snobbiest in the United States.

Methodology: How we determined the snobbiest cities in the Peach State

Do you think wed just come up with this list willy-nilly? Not a chance – we only use Saturday Night Science around here.

We gathered up all of the places in Georgia with populations of 5,000 people or more. This left us with a total of 126 places. Then, we looked at each place in terms of these snoot-er-iffic criteria (And no, its not a word. English snob.):

  • Median home price (Higher is snobbier)
  • Median household income (Higher is snobbier)
  • Percent of population with a college degree (Higher is snobbier)

Incomes and college education levels come from the American Community Survey. Home prices come from Zillow.

Turned out this simple criteria was much better at sniffing out the snobby places then more snobby criteria like:

  • Libaries per capita (Higher is snobbier)
  • Museums per capita (Higher is snobbier)
  • Private schools per capita (Higher is snobbier)

From there, we ranked each of our 126 places in each category with scores from one to 126. We then averaged each places ranking into one overall score, where the lowest score went to the snobbiest place in Georgia. So lets all flip a table in honor of Milton (with our pinkies up, of course.)

Before you get upset and ruin your blowout or something drastic here, lets remember that this is all in good fun. Would we live in one of these 10 places if we had the chance? Of course, we would.

And it’s not like your real estate agent would ever point out how snobby the town you’re moving to is. We’re here to keep you grounded, even if you’re wearing a monocle.

There You Have It – Now That You’re On Your High Horse

When it comes to snobbery, these places in Georgia are heading ever upward. Residents in these communities are well educated, well paid, and appear to have all the sophisticated culture and entertainment of an Ernst Lubitsch film right at their fingertips.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The snobbiest cities in Georgia are Milton, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Brookhaven, Roswell, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Tyrone, Suwanee, and Senoia.

If you’re also curious enough, here are the most laid back places in Georgia, according to science:

  1. Camilla
  2. Fitzgerald
  3. Lafayette

4 thoughts on “The 10 Snobbiest Places In Georgia For 2024

  1. This…was stupid. I saw Decatur and immediately thought “yes! I know!!!!” And then…I kept reading.

    This was more of a bragging points post and was utterly silly. I should have known better when I read “old money” and “cotillions” being used as examples of sections of snobdom.

    I could write an article on snobbishness, and while it would have less style and humor than this author’s writing style (that was a compliment!), it would have far more “teeth” to support my argument.

    Lastly, you have garishly missed the great snobs of Henry County. They could stare down the pants off of the worst Decatur snob wannabe ANYDAY! And they do snobby right!

    Now back to my lamenting the bratts with “new money.”

    LOL!!! 😛

  2. This is just a jealous rant over people that have worked hard and live in nice areas. The author should get off food stamps and get a job, other than being a fry cook.
