Atlanta radius map at a glance
A 10 mile circle centered on Five Points is 20 miles across and covers about 314 sq mi (814 km²). It contains 8 towns, cities, and city districts with at least 15,000 residents; the largest apart from Atlanta itself is Brookhaven, 7.8 mi to the N. The nearest separately listed town is North Decatur, 5.5 mi away.
Interstate 285, the Perimeter, is about 64 miles long. That is roughly the circumference of a 10 mile circle, which is why a 10 mile radius from Five Points loosely traces the area people call ‘inside the Perimeter’.

Choose the right center
The map starts at Five Points (33.7537, -84.3915). The Perimeter is not a perfect circle centered on Downtown, so check addresses near I-285 individually.
The place shortcuts run a search; they are not neighborhood outlines or claims that a whole neighborhood is inside your circle.
