Hammond does not have close to 140k people. The population of Tangipahoa Parish is only 138k.

The Houma/thib outflow has to be because of skyrocketing insurance rates. Hearing accounts of escrows jumping $1,000 a month due to insurance costs.

Same with Lafayette. Parish has about 240k. Listed at 419k here. The metro must extend beyond the parish

It's a commuter town for Greenville, and the general direction of Greenville sprawl.

How the hell isn't Prairieville/Gonzales or Denham Springs/Watson/Juban not on that list? Those areas have had over 20% growth. Suprised BR was still in the positive since St. George was founded. List is shite.
They are. They're included in the Baton Rouge MSA

Further east and has more ties with the north. It’s not the Deep South.

More ties with the North? What does this mean?

So Bossier City and Monroe are considered "deep south" but Little Rock and Memphis are not?
The "Deep South" has traditionally been considered to include Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina

I hoped Fairhope would remain the South's best kept secret. Looks like people discovered it.

You're probably the only person with this opinion. As far as more ties to the north, I'm guessing you don't consider Georgia to be in the Deep South either because of Atlanta?
