Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and wealthiest suburbs of Atlanta, Dunwoody, Georgia is located in northern DeKalb County (population 660,000) and boasts a population of approximately 33,000 residents. Per capita income in this affluent district is almost $44,000 a year, and median income per household is an impressive $83,000 annually. Despite the city's relatively small size, it's been home to notable celebrities ranging from Sean "P Diddy" Combs to World Poker Series champion Jeff Williams. To this day, the city's resident list looks like a "Who's Who" of the entertainment, athletic, and political worlds.

As a suburb of Atlanta, Dunwoody doesn't have too many major employers within suburban city limits. In fact, one of the most powerful organizations in the area isn't an employer at all. The Dunwoody Homeowners Association has wielded considerable influence since its 1969 inception. Dunwoody is actually a bedroom community for neighboring Atlanta. Approximately 19,000 residents travel in and out of Dunwoody every work day, changing the population by almost 60%.

96% of all adults over the age of 25 hold a high school diploma, and more than 65% possess a bachelor's degree or higher. High-paying white-collar positions in downtown Atlanta keep most of the town's workforce busy during the day.

Although Atlanta has undergone fairly drastic urban sprawl over the last several decades, Dunwoody has managed to maintain its residential feel and close-knit community through the years. High-priced real estate is one reason why large-scale business development hasn't affected Dunwoody, GA the way other suburbs of Atlanta have been altered.
