Misinformation

On Friday a local informed me that 300,000 former New Orleans residents relocated to this area after Hurricane Katrina. Seems no one has a good handle on exactly how many people were displaced. Today a USA Today article informs readers that the total number of people displaced (and that have not returned to New Orleans) is 250,000. Then again, the survey referenced in the article does not track people from year-to-year.

USA Today article "Katrina Evacuees Feel Money Pinch":
