So I'm curious as to what many in this forum would suggest would be the closest equivalent to the Atlanta market? May be a few disagreements but I hear Atlanta compared to Houston a lot. Would it be the general opinion of most that Houston is closest to a resemblance of the Atlanta market? If so, what differentiates it as well? Maybe some notable mentions?

Atlanta Market vs....

Demographically? Absolutely not. Houston is about 45% Hispanic, Atlanta is 10% Hispanic.
Houston is about 20% Black, Atlanta is about 30% Black.
I'd say Washington DC is closest of the major markets.

Houston is 36.5% Hispanic and 16.9% Black, based on Nielsen MSA data.
Atlanta is 35.1% Black and 11.4% Hispanic.
New Orleans and Jacksonville are perhaps the most similar in ethnic composition, but much smaller of course.
Charlotte is 23% Black verses ATL's 35%. If you are talking total minorities Dallas Fort Worth is 27% Hispanic and 16.65 % Black which would be about 44% minority verses Atlanta's 45% minority percentage. But that figure is sorta misleading because as David has said after a couple of generations Hispanics don't always limit themselves to Hispanic songs. A large percentage of the Hispanics in Texas have been there for many generations. Some before Texas was Texas. When I was stationed a Carswell AFB a lot of the locals I knew might have had an Hispanic last names but spoke English as a first language.
