The population of New Orleans proper was 484,674 in 2000 census.

What do you estimate the population of NO is now?
300,000?
200,000?
150,000?
Many of the displaced of NO have not yet returned and I'm curious as to how many people live there right now.

1. Just a guess

but I'd say less than 200k.:shrug:

2. About 60% of the population is now gone.

Soon it will be a gated "Jesusland" community of 400,000 white bu$h voters.
