DeKalb County Boundary

The data shows the boundary of Dekalb county in Georgia. DeKalb County is included in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA Metropolitan Statistical Area. It contains roughly 10% of the city of Atlanta (the other 90% lies in Fulton County). DeKalb is primarily a suburban county. In 2009, DeKalb earned the Atlanta Regional Commission's "Green Communities" designation for its efforts in conserving energy, water and fuel, investing in renewable energy, reducing waste, and protecting and restoring natural resources. In 2021, non-profit American Rivers named DeKalb's South River the 4th most endangered river in the United States, citing "the egregious threat that ongoing sewage pollution poses to clean water and public health. In recent years, some communities in North DeKalb have incorporated, following a trend in other suburban areas around Metro Atlanta. Dunwoody and Brookhaven are now the largest cities entirely contained within the county.本数据集展示了佐治亚州（Georgia）迪卡尔布县（DeKalb County）的行政边界。迪卡尔布县隶属于佐治亚州亚特兰大-桑迪斯普林斯-罗斯韦尔都会统计区（Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA Metropolitan Statistical Area），该县涵盖了亚特兰大市约10%的辖区，剩余90%的区域则属于富尔顿县（Fulton County）。迪卡尔布县整体以郊区属性为主。2009年，迪卡尔布县因在节能节水节燃料、发展可再生能源、减少废弃物排放以及保护与修复自然资源等方面的扎实举措，荣获亚特兰大区域委员会（Atlanta Regional Commission）颁发的“绿色社区”称号。2021年，非营利组织美国河流协会（American Rivers）将迪卡尔布县境内的南河（South River）评为全美第四大濒危河流，指出“持续存在的污水污染对清洁水源与公众健康构成了极为严重的威胁”。近年来，效仿亚特兰大都会区周边其他郊区的发展趋势，迪卡尔布县北部的部分社区完成了自治建制。目前，邓伍迪市（Dunwoody）与布鲁克黑文市（Brookhaven）是该县全域范围内规模最大的两座城市。
