It won’t take 30 years before the infestation of the South Shore takes hold in St. Tammany, Tangi, and Washington Parish. It’s already happening. I’d wager, if I could time travel I wouldn’t know what we’re once peaceful area’s of the NorthShore would like 30 years from now.

You missed Tangipahoa. Most of the growth has been south of I-12.

Surprised that Lafourche didn’t have more losses similar to Terrebonne. Hurricane Ida devastated that whole area.
I wonder how much is also COVID related deaths.
COVID did a number on the older population.
The other population changes are due to increasing insurance rates and big oil not being as big as it once was or people saying I can live anywhere because I work 7 and 7 offshore. I don’t need to be near Fourchon. I can move up the Bayou to Thibodaux, the Northshore, a Lafayette suburb, or even Houston and commute. Especially if they no longer have a parent or fewer relatives that would keep them on the bayou.
Another issue is brain drain due to the success of programs like TOPS. People become skilled in one area and local job growth does not offer a job in their field of study so they move out.
The population starts on a death spiral because fewer and fewer children are being born as child bearing age women move out to follow their career path.

It’s an estimate. Prior to 2010 and 2023 the census bureau had EBR decreasing in population.
After each census, EBR had increased in population by 10-20k and in 2020 became the most populated parish in the state.

Desoto is booming because of the school district. We almost bought a house in Stonewall but didn’t because the property taxes are about to skyrocket

The issue of fewer children being born is also a factor.
This affects the whole country, but it’s an important factor for Louisiana because family ties was always a huge anchor for our population.
We were always a state that topped the list of people IN the state being BORN in that state. In other words, we were mostly native to the area compared to other states where people migrated in and out.
With smaller family ties, the out-migration is increasing as the lack of new births and the lack of in-migration has our population decreasing.

Lafayette growth is attributed to New Iberia residents moving to Youngsville
