Map is definitely correct in south MS. I fled terrebonne in 2018 and have noticed a massive influx of people in my current county. Most from the Nola metro but many bayou residents as well. Decent middle to middle upper class people fleeing the sinking ship that is LA.

This is the plight of Stephen Waguespack in the LA governor's race. We definitely need pro-business leadership to keep AND attract talent. We can deal with our poor/uneducated citizens if we add a lot more functioning members to our pool.

TOPS was supposed to be the solution to keeping our brightest from going out of state for an education, from which they rarely returned. Now they just wait to leave later.

The population change for NOLA isn't because people are fleeing. It's because they didn't flee fast enough.

Demographics are destiny.

Excluding the cold, Idaho looks like a promising place to relocate to.

Top losers are all to be expected given hurricane damage and weak GOM O&G activity.

My wife and I stayed for awhile, it’s not even the brain drain it’s just even when you try and stay everything is so needlessly hard for seemingly no other reason that engrained corruption.
In BR in particular nothing ever gets better, it just continues to trend worse and worse and people accept it for the dumbest reasons.
The day you leave is like a weight is lifted off of you and you question why it took you so long to just do it.

As soon as it becomes feasible I'll be joining them. The rate at which quality of life is declining in Louisiana is astonishing. "Diversity" has finally reached a tipping point.

Between state and parish it is 10%
Just put tired and brakes etc on wife’s car for $1500, tack on $150 in tax. $65 state and $85 local. All with nothing to show for it.

I live in St Charles Parish...and it ain't the crime driving people out. It's Ida. There are still people in my neighborhood living out of trailers. Following Katrina, the population in SCP actually rose because people were looking for habitable homes while their storm damaged residences to the east were repaired. We were hit pretty hard by Ida, I figure we were about 8 miles from where the center passed. I get why no one wants to go through that shite again.

Orleans is one of the few parishes gaining in population, while Jefferson declines. Interesting.
