The Setting
The Census Bureau counts South Fulton as a city among 675 places in Georgia. Its 97,259 Black residents stand 3 in that company by size, and its 90.5% Black share reads against the statewide 31.0%. The published redistricting file carries no 2010 figure for South Fulton under its present bounds, so the entry begins with the 2020 count.
The Record
The gazetteer enters South Fulton among Georgia's 675 counted places, at rank 3 by Black population on a count of 97,259. The figures for South Fulton are the Bureau's published redistricting counts for the place as bounded, reproduced without adjustment.
Institutions
South Fulton is a place of 107,436 people, and it carries its institutions at its own scale — congregations, schools, and businesses recorded in the federal counts as counts, and in this gazetteer as part of the county and state frames above this entry. The entry's work is the fixing of South Fulton itself: its name, its state, its people, and its share, in the same terms as every other place in the book.
