Have you been to New Orleans? It seems like (without exaggeration) at least 75% of the 20-35 year olds I meet are originally from New England, the West Coast, or the Midwest.


Your circle of white college kids is a small drop in the bucket. The biggest effect on the numbers being the way they are is black populations. There has been no major migration of blacks since WWII. I would venture 98% of the black population of New Orleans are locals, then the white population is largely made up of seniors citizens not seniors at Tulane.

That's pretty accurate. Most of the young whites around NOLA grew up in Metaire.
