10 million visitors and $7 billion dollars spent a year says otherwise.

Obviously. But those who are not "of/from" NOLA could possibly understand. That said, the NOLA I fell in love with as a child hardly exists anymore, except maybe in the memory of older generations like mine, and in the people/culture spreading out across the metro area to BR and LAFFY, and east along the the Gulf to the FL panhandle.

Most of these cities show a net migration out from New Orleans. This list is shite for New Orleans.

Since the OP is too lazy to post the list and slideshows are stupid:

1. Baton Rouge - 4,612 (yet 6,222 made the move from NOLA TO Baton Rouge)
2. Houston - 2,655 (yet 2,749 made the move from NOLA TO Houston)
3. Lafayette - 1,620
4. Atlanta - 1,371 (yet 1,575 made the move from NOLA TO Atlanta)
5. Washington, D.C. - 1,287
6. Hammond - 1,157
7. Houma-Thibodaux - 1,027
8. New York City - 989
9. Shreveport - 870
10. Dallas-Fort Worth - 855

So 5/10 on the list are other places in the same state, 3/10 are places that more people left NOLA for than came to NOLA from, and the most populated city in the country (New York) with 8.4 million people had a whopping total of less than 1,000 people going to NOLA.

I don't know if this article was meant to be a positive one, but this is pretty bleak.

Does this article cite data to the MSA or Orleans Parish?

If the former...than who the F cares.

Baton Rouge is the city from which most people move to New Orleans . That's why we have all those violent crimes.

I didn't say the population wasn't increasing. Just that the list of the top ten cities isn't something to hang your hat on - which it seems like what nola.com is trying to do.

So more people are moving to Baton Rouge from New Orleans than to New Orleans from Baton Rouge?

Not surprising given the white collar job market in New Orleans and the scale of LSU.

More people moved from NOLA to BR than moved from BR to NOLA. What's your point?

There is unfortunately not a strong enough job market in New Orleans for it to be the economic engine the state needs it to be.

I'm assuming you define New Orleans as the French Quarter.


It's entirety.

I went to UNO, spent a lot of time in various parts of the city.

I don't get the draw.

The quarter is absolutely disgusting, and the rest of it isn't anything special. Not a fan. Much prefer BR.

Even the nasty whore you frick for a night isn't too bad. That doesn't mean she still isn't nasty and it certainly doesn't mean you stay with her permanently.

New Orleans is vastly overrated.
