I’d say that if the people that were displaced by Katrina hadn’t returned by 2010, they weren’t coming back.

I’m guessing the majority of the growth from 2010-2019 majority are all new residents

Baton Rouge is actually larger than New Orleans now.

Probably

Have to figure by 2010 most people had moved back or were rooted firmly elsewhere.

The City seems capped at about that 390,000 number. Hard to believe there are more restaurants, bars, etc. with 60,000 less people than 2005 but that's the case.

So is Jefferson Parish

What’s your point?

The population definitely isn't. EBR Parish maybe

Yep! Exactly

The city is much better off the way it is now than it was on August 28th 2005

It is a much more affluent population moving to new orleans. I think its down 75000 people pre-katrina still.

We rid ourselves of a lot of garbage.

With that said, 90's Nola was a great place grow up. Nola has been gentrified/disneyfied a bit post katrina. It became "cool" in the national eye (hipsters are the proof of that here).

90s nola was much more authentic and real. Though i am a big fan of the overall progress, a part of me will always miss places like bacchanal, the joint, frenchman st, etc before they became "cool"

While I agree with you, the only reason New Orleans is on this list is because the population was more than 100k less in 2010 than it was in 2000, mainly because of Katrina. So the storm is the only reason New Orleans is on this list. And I do admit that most of these people were new residents.

ETA: I also agree it has been a positive change for the city.

I agree.

If it weren’t for Katrina we’d be on this list

Most of the trash is being pushed out to the East and Algiers so, technically, they're still staying in New Orleans.

The East is a ghost town

Algiers is booming with young professionals

Algiers Point. Yes.

The rest of Algiers has become ghetto shithole.

At its peak population, the city proper had like 700,000 people.
