Atlanta is outpacing several other metro areas in workers returning to the office.
Why it matters: Office occupancy keeps creeping up — though growth has slowed and may never return to pre-pandemic levels.
Driving the news: Atlanta's office visits in July rose to 76.7% of levels reported in July 2019, according to new data from Placer.ai, a startup that tracks and analyzes foot traffic from mobile devices.
The national average rose slightly higher to 72.2% of July 2019 levels.
Yes, but: There's still a wide disparity between cities.
Miami and New York office visits are more than, or close to, 90% of July 2019 levels, while San Francisco has barely breached 50%.
