LINK

Lots of interesting information in the link. Whitman County, Washington grew by 10% due to Washington State students returning back to campus after the pandemic.

St. John the Baptist, Plaquemines, Terrebonne, and St. Charles were in the top 10 for population losses by percentage.

Little to no jobs, crime, bad roads, weather, bad/underfunded schools.

Looks like my parish is still trending upwards.

ETA: if my parish trends like the rest of the state in the future, I'll be on my way as well.

Grew up in Baton Rouge and never considered leaving.

Then I got married and work moved us away. I've lived in Oklahoma, Dallas, and Houston.

No way in hell I'd move back to LA. Glad to be from there, no interest in living there.

Of all the problems that Louisiana has, I'm convinced that #1 is Brain Drain. Folks get a degree and bail. It’s a cycle. Uneducated workforce doesn’t attract investment, the educated workforce leaves.

Entire south from Texas to South Carolina experiencing a never before seen population boom, but yet Louisiana is being left out. Voting in morons, driving out industry, and rampant crime will do that. Sad to see it. Louisiana is battling Mississippi to not be be the worst state while Alabama is running circles around us.

Me and the kids moving back home were probably a lion's share of the +.01 to 2.49 for my rural home county.
