Summary: Lafayette, Ascension, Livingston, WBR, Desoto, St. Tammany, and St. Bernard parishes were the only places that grew more than 1%.

Surprised that Lafourche didn’t have more losses similar to Terrebonne. Hurricane Ida devastated that whole area.

I'm surprised we only lost 1-5%. The town I grew up in is half the size it once was.

Terrebonne parish’s problems are more than just Hurricane Ida. Soaring insurance premiums, oil field downturn, and starting to have big city crime problems.

What’s the catalyst for the increase in Livingston?

Not hard to figure out why Calcasieu and Cameron lost people.

All 40,000+ population cities in Louisiana declining is white people wanting to move to suburbs to get out of dangerous inner city. Doesn't surprise me that Lafayette is the only large city in LA that experienced growth and is also the only majority white city in Louisiana (bc cajuns) of the all the other 40,000+ people cities in Louisiana that are minority white.

This is why you see De Soto, West Baton Rouge, Northshore increasing. It's whites fleeing Nola, Shreveport, BR.

De Soto parish is the heart of the 2nd largest natural gas shale play in the US the Haynesville, and for a time Haynesville in 2022 had 2nd most active rigs, 75, of any basin including Marcellus and Eagle Ford, and was only behind Permian. Then nat gas crashed.

But mineral rights in De Soto parish are worth a ton.

Fracking advancements have turned 2011 Hanyesville wells from 7,000 MCFPD IP wells and 2.5 BCF EUR into 25,000 MCFPD IP wells and 12 BCF EUR wells in 2022. Really turned that basin around.

In addition, Haynesville wells get muchhh better prices per mcf than Marcellus. When nat gas is $3 per mcf at Henry Hub, it's $2 per mcf in Appalachian Marcellus. There's much more industrial demand amongst refineries, etc in Louisiana and Texas than WV, PA, so get better prices in Haynesville. That's why you see companies like Southwestern who are in both basins that shifted their rigs from Marcellus to Haynesville.

Are you referring to the insane amount of traffic or the roads having Fallujah size potholes everywhere you go?
