The Repopulation of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina

Abstract

What the future size and composition of the population of New Orleans will be in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is a topic of intense interest and discussion among current and displaced residents of the city; among policymakers in the City of New Orleans, the State of Louisiana, and the federal government; and within the general public. This report presents population estimates for New Orleans three months, six months, one year, and three years after Hurricane Katrina. This report was prepared after consultation with New Orleans leaders in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and was done specifically to support the efforts of the Bring New Orleans Back Commission. Projections of the future population of New Orleans are essential to the work of the Commission's subcommittees for planning, infrastructure, and sustainability. The work for this report was carried out between late November 2005 and early January 2006 and reflects the situation in New Orleans through that time. Changes and further developments in the situation since then are not reflected in this report.
