Sorry it's no NOLA. Last time I drove through there it looked like an extension of Haiti. Feel sorry for those stuck living there.

Did some work a few years ago there. Floods hurt and Central has another issue now, despite a good school system Central's population is actually older on average then surrounding areas, their population is becoming kids and old folks. The school system is the only thing keeping people in Central. Its definitely not good infrastructure, affordable housing, or lots of jobs and commercial development.

So, they aren’t exactly thirteenth then - thanks Google!
You based your info off of the 1st link you clicked. It’s all subjective you idiot.
I based my info off of actual census counts and the census bureau's latest estimates, you fricking twat. I was wrong, though. The latest estimate the census bureau has puts them at 12th largest. Which blog that Google showed you are you going to cite?
Link to Louisiana cities population estimates at census.gov
Click modify table. Sort by 2016 population. You get this.
Now, die in a fire.

Just about every suburb in Louisiana is a depressing swath of strip malls, gas stations, and neighborhoods with cheap houses that will eventually flood.
No just about every suburb in Louisiana is bc parents didn't want their kids growing up around crime, and shitty schools. Those that decided to work their asses off moved out leaving the cities to those that chose not to. Take it as you will, but there is a reason things like this happen.
Every city in America deals with this.

That’s all you’ve got? At least prove a point.

Affordable housing doesn't mean subsidized housing. You need housing that doesn't flood that young families can afford.
As far as infrastructure, while there have been street improvements in Central but they are way behind, at least until they 4 lane Hooper and connect it to a 4 lane Sullivan. And I've seen Central's municipal sewer map, it doesn't even cover all of Central's exisiting neighborhoods. And we haven't even talked about Central's drainage issues.

My dad has lived out there for 68 years and said he'd never seen the vast majority of the places that flooded in '16 flood before. Sure, there are a few flood prone neighborhoods that were already well known.
The same can be said about most of SE BR, Denham, Watson and Prairieville.

Centralians? Is that really what you choose to call yourselves?

Central has grown tremendously since the 80’s or so, but it pales in comparison with growth from other suburbs across the south with cities comparable in size.

Well I know that when the new super of CCISD thought to cower down to recent PC issues, but he got put in his place within a day.
All was back to normal the next day. Central like all places in LA has its good ole boy politics, but around Baton Rouge there are not really many other places better. Just a different route to work, or a bunch of the same.

Probably comparable to other BR burbs. Another factor is that Central was part of the EBRP school district until 2005 so it was subject to the same incompetence that the BR public schools were.
Many people that lived in Central went to Redemptorist, Central Private, Starkey etc back then.

I graduated from CHS. We had forced bussing from Scotlandville in 95 & 96. It was far less of an issue than in BR but to many parents it was a deal breaker and they looked elsewhere.

Lol. It does better than NOLA and the again, that isn't saying much.
NOLA can't even keep the drains cleans and pays companies to pave over the drainage system.

There are plans in place to construct city center at site of old middle school.Hooper and Sullivan. It’s a very nice concept and will give the city and town hall feel. Very nice area for all types .
