New Orleans gaining 12% is impressive. I’m sure it’s not all quality people moving in but considering the gentrification and housing prices, at least some of it is.


Will it continue? Who knows.

Most of Nola's population growth was during 2010-2016, when gentrification was full swing. The population has been stagnant the past two years, mainly thanks to Covid wrecking the city's tourism-based economy, OOC crime, and Latoya's incompetence.

Not really. The population was way down in 2010 after Katrina 5 years earlier. It had nowhere to go but up.

Considering the inhospitable nature of the administration that runs a hospitality city….

Nola has its problems, but IMO the current mayor is the biggest one. Bourbon needs to be crawling with drunk tourists every weekend. You don’t let them come, while letting the locals shoot each other way and those tourists might never be back.

Not really. The last census was just 5 years after Katrina, when New Orleans was at a historic low.

So it had almost nowhere to go but up.
