People of Cherokee County
The people of Cherokee County, Georgia today form a rapidly growing, predominantly white suburban population of 274,539 that balances strong conservative values with the economic opportunities of metropolitan Atlanta. The county has a distinctly family-oriented character, with a 39.5% college-educated share and a median home price well above the national average.
