8 of 14 districts associated with Atlanta in some way, with Democrats winning a total of 6 districts to Republicans' 8. However, 7 districts moved toward Clinton, with CD-02, based in the wealthiest parts of the Atlanta region, almost certain to become a swing district in the future, moving 12.2 points toward Democrats, the largest shift toward either party of any district in Georgia. Thus, this map will likely result in a 7-7 D-R spread in the future, signifying Georgia's status as a swing state. Districts 1,5,6,7, and 14 are minority majority with 5,6,7 and 14 being majority black in terms of voting age population as well.
