Geographically speaking Baton Rouge should have grown north because the terrain is better. Because of socioeconomics that's not what happened.
Dallas is similar. The terrain south of downtown has hills and bluffs, but the wrong demographics. All the growth has been in the opposite direction.
However, demographic and socioeconomic conditions aren’t the only reasons growth happens in certain directions. It’s easier for developers to build neighborhoods on flat terrain. Tract housing is almost never developed in scenic geographical areas

North of BR is pretty flat too until you get up near Clinton or St Francisville.
I grew up in a northern suburb, and the problem is that you are closest to the shitty areas of BR.

Lafayette may indeed show some improved data by losing Iberia Parish, although it will cost them an overall population decline (Iberia Parish has @70,000 people). They'd go from a five-parish area to a four-parish area (Lafayette, St. Martin, Acadia, Vermilion).
Still the third largest MSA in the state, unless there were large population changes since 2020, should still have 20k more than the Shreveport MSA.
