Slackers! Brookhaven Is Eighth Laziest Place in Georgia

Brookhaven is No. 8 on a new list that ranks the laziest places in Georgia.

Zippia created the rankings by using the latest version of the American Community Survey and the U.S. Census Bureau stats. The metrics the company used for determining the laziest places in Georgia were:

• Lowest average hours worked
• Shortest commute time
• Fewest workers per household (Labor force divided by the number households)
• Highest unemployment rate
• Fewest adults with a college degree

After compiling the data for the 127 places in Georgia over 5,000 people, the company ranked each place from 1 to 127 for each of the criteria with 1 being the “laziest.”

Brookhaven’s population of 50,181, with a college-educated percentage of 57.7 percent and an unemployment rate of 4.5 percent, earned it the No. 8 slot.

Here is the list of the 10 laziest places in Georgia:

1. Suwanee
2. Johns Creek
3. Holly Springs
4. Milton
5. Flowery Branch
6. Woodstock
7. Roswell
