Atlanta is in the middle for home prices
A recent report by the Center for Housing Policy ranks nearly 200 metropolitan areas for housing affordability. Their purpose is to draw attention to workers who provide vital services — teachers, firefighters, police officers, retail sales workers, nurses, restaurant workers and others — who cannot afford to live in the communities they serve.

That means neither a registered nurse, an elementary school teacher nor a fire fighter could qualify for a mortgage on the median priced home based on their annual income. The income needed was calculated using the average prevailing interest rate and assuming a 10 percent downpayment.
