More than 16 years after Hurricane Katrina, the most recent census data shows a New Orleans population of 384,000 – more than 20% less than before the hurricane. It’s a gap of at least 100,000 people that, presumably, were never able to make it back to the city, Jeff Adelson and Chad Calder report.Nonetheless, New Orleans' population increased nearly 12% during the past decade.
