In the U.S. Census region known as the South, there are five very big metro areas that are in the same tier: Washington DC, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Dallas.
Of the five, Atlanta is the only one that's unarguably culturally Southern.
It's also in the heart of the region, while all the other four are completely ex-centric.
