Texas & Florida win, although it underscores the high amount of international migration to both. Arkansas and Alabama did pretty well for little ole southern states. Tennessee and Georgia, too:

I wonder how many people left Louisiana permanently due to Katrina and Rita? I would have to think that was a decent part of the decline in pop. Anyone happen to have any figures relating to that? TIA

No idea, but there are a hell of a lot of them here in ATL. Houston too, I think.

wouldn't a view of the percentages be a better representation.

I know several that went to Texas and Georgia. Obviously, there are some other factors for Louisiana declining but it has to be some of it.

I think the size of BR doubled or more pretty much overnight too. Not sure how many stayed for good but certainly a large number did. Its why I think BR traffic is so terrible.

None of this is particularly surprising.
Southern states are benefitting tremendously from laxer business laws and lower taxes. Companies are moving from CA and NY to AZ, TX, and FL, and with them they're taking lots of jobs.

I was in my third year at LSU during Katrina. BR was over crowded and the infrastructure was not set up for how big it was before the hurricanes.
I believe that it was more than doubled. BR was an awful place to live for years after. Houston got hit hard with people as well.

Memphis too. Ended up with some good restaurants though so it worked out.

Depends. The actual #s are interesting. I generally know how big the states are population-wise so I can extrapolate that in my brain. 80K moving to Arkansas is pretty big per capita domestic migration. Neat to see more Americans moved here than to Utah. Utahns and their baby-making mean they grew more over the same period.
Also, Mississippi and a few others would be overall shrinking if not for Messicans and baby-making.

Louisiana is on the verge of some solid pop growth IMO. Shell, Exxon and a few other o/g companies are setting up shop in LA. Should be a great foundation for job creation.

I'd like to see a post Katrina migration map. This doesn't help me very much.
I'd bet that MS number would be close to even as well.

Pretty much people moving from high tax states to lower tax states with economic opportunity. New York and Michigan have the worst combination of factors: high taxes and crappy weather.

Americans are fleeing Mich, NY and Cali. Those states still manage to grow via international immigration and birth, tho.

Our 2013 economy was so much stronger than the rest of the country I wish they included that as well.

I actually saw this map tweeted by Ted Cruz.

A lot of them pollute Atlanta now.
