Is Atlanta 'Most Redneck City' in U.S.?

You know the drill: Atlanta, you might be a ...

Seriously ... sort of ... a residential real estate website called movoto.com has ranked what it calls The 10 Most Redneck Cities in America. And guess who was at the top:

1. Atlanta, GA
2. Kansas City, MO
3. Oklahoma City, OK
4. Nashville, TN
5. Tulsa, OK
6. Fort Worth, TX
7. Arlington, TX
8. Sacramento, CA
9. Cleveland, OH
10. Mesa, AZ

The list includes cities from several time zones, although none from the Northeast, Upper Midwest or Pacific Northwest are included.

The methodology? Well, according to the Movoto website, metrics included:

• Percent of population that didn’t complete high school
• Number of gun and ammo stores per capita
• Number of taxidermists per capita
• Number of cowboy boot stores per capita
• Number of country radio stations per capita
• Number of NASCAR race tracks close by
• Number of Walmarts per capita
• Number of riding lawn mower/tractor repair shops per capita

The original term "redneck" was a derogatory, slang term, according to wikipedia.org. However, in recent years, comedian Jeff Foxworthy gave it a chic, humorous connotation with jokes such as "You might be a redneck if you misspell something in Christmas lights."

And "Atlanta" presumably means the metro area of several million people -- which includes Suwanee and Gwinnett County. That same area is home to businesses such as Coca-Cola and entertainment personalities such as Usher, Tyler Perry -- and Foxworthy himself.
