For the first time since Hurricane Katrina, census estimates show a shrinking New Orleans

More than a decade of uninterrupted growth in New Orleans' population that accompanied the recovery from Hurricane Katrina has ended, according to new U.S. Census Bureau estimates.
New Orleans saw its population shrink by nearly 1,000 people between 2016 and 2018, the first decline the city has seen since tens of thousands of displaced residents began returning after the storm, according to census figures.
The drop may mirror a nationwide trend that has seen residents leaving core cities, in part because of the high cost of housing and other necessities, for smaller and cheaper areas, demographers said. And it may also point to weaknesses in the economy of New Orleans and of Louisiana as a whole, which lost 10,840 residents over the course of a year.

How does that compare to the number of murders there in that same period?

Thats about the same number of murders during that timeframe. So that makes sense.

Baton Rouge population had shrunk over the past few years too. It’s not just NO.

I know zero people that have moved to BR or NOLA in past 5 years. I know quite a few that have left. Great places ruined by Democrat politics. Seriously just study what happens in these towns and extrapolate to what would happen to the US if Democrats ran everything unchecked.
