City Limits: Don't Let the Address Fool You
Look at a map, and Nashville seems to sprawl for miles. In reality, the city limits themselves are a surprising 132 square miles. Atlanta, on the other hand, crams a whole lot of living into a much smaller space, clocking in at just 49 square miles. Think of it like this: Atlanta's a tightly packed house party, while Nashville's a sprawling backyard barbecue.
But hold on to your cowboy hats, folks! This is just the city itself, we ain't talkin' suburbs yet.
The Suburban Sprawlsville Showdown
Now, let's talk about those bedroom communities. Atlanta's suburbs sprawl like kudzu vines on a humid day, encompassing a whopping 5,100 square miles and a metro population of around 6.6 million. Nashville's suburbs are more modest, with a metro area of roughly 1,900 square miles and a population of 1.3 million.
