Villa Rica /ˌvɪlə ˈrɪkə/ (Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese translation: Rich Village) is a city in Carroll and Douglas counties with an unincorporated portion in Paulding County in the U.S. state of Georgia. Located roughly 30 miles west of Atlanta, a decision to develop housing on a large tract of land led to a major population boom at the turn of the 21st century: the population was 4,134 at the 2000 census; it had grown by 238%, to 13,956, at the 2010 census;[4] and is estimated at 16,058 in 2019, nearly quadrupling its population in just 19 years.[5] Villa Rica is in the Atlanta metropolitan statistical area.
