If you’ve ever wondered just where the most redneck cities in Georgia are, wonder no longer.
Ellijay ranks first in the state, according to a new study by RoadSnacks.net. The site claims the list is opinion based on facts and is meant as “infotainment.”
The site says it looked for scientific data on a number of redneck stereotypes to create the rankings. The study weighed the number of high school graduates, dive bars, mobile home parks, tobacco and gun stores, plus Wal-Marts and Dollar Generals.
With a population of 1,530, Ellijay has the second most bars per capita in the state, the site says.
