Population Shifts in EBR, Livingston, and Ascension
Posted on 8/22/16 at 9:58 pm

Talking to a buddy helping me clean out my shop today about potential population shifts of these parishes.
I am leaning that Ascension will retain most of its population based on the fact that most of the St.Amant, Lake, Gálvez area homes were flood insured. While EBR and Livingston will have a lot more people take losses on their houses and just pack up, move and start over elsewhere.
Any thoughts?

The employment centers in the metro area were not flooded for the most part. People still have their jobs to root them to the region, and there isn't an abundance of undamaged inventory to relocate to immediately considering how many people took on damage.
I think things return to normal as repairs are completed. Until then, everything from rent to automobile purchases will be more costly in the entire metro area.

You sure about that? Check out the flood zone map for eastern and southern Ascension parish.

Lots of people in those areas live in family homes so many never had a mortgage.

I really don't think there will be a mass exodus.

I find the most interesting question is those quasi retired couples that were planning on retiring elsewhere in a couple of years. Are they going to rebuild here, or already move to their new retirement location?

What's Lake?

Within a few months, a lot more houses will be repaired, the kids will be back in school, more grocery stores would have reopened, and LSU football will be on the bottom half of a great season. August will feel like a more distant nightmare by then.

That's the general area

Fox News was broadcasting from Baton Rouge earlier. They said that up to about 100,000 people may have been impacted by flooding in Ascension Parish alone.

Dude, people going to leave LP and AP and move to EBR.

Our government will mandate the minimum build height to go up, for those already built, flood insurance will skyrocket. maybe even a new construction freeze. Fema (all flood insurance) will get their money back!

I doubt there will be much of a permanent shift in population. People who have undamaged rental property will not have any trouble finding tenants though.

Wouldn't that be something.

Not even a remote possibly. The school district in EBR is pathetic.
I could actually see more people moving more NE of DS and Weat óf the MS.

Say what you will my good man, but it's open. It has unwatered books, computers, and desks. LP ain't got none of that.
The LP schools are back to the Stone Age, AP is a little better, maybe turn of the century. Your kids going to learn in that environment? It's going to take 10 years to fix all that.
And, to fix all that AP and LP going to tax you and yours out your arse starting real soon, so, well, bend over.

Family/community roots has a huge impact on people staying. AP is probably pretty big on that. No idea about EBR or Livingston though.
