They must be counting a pretty wide area as part of "New Orleans". Orleans Parish (which is actually New Orleans) has less than 400,000 people.
Includes parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, St Bernard, St Charles, St James, and St John the Baptist.

I think that is the case in some areas, i.e. Austin, Atlanta, and Dallas especially.
However, a lot of these transplants were red dots in a blue state and they finally had enough and left. I would venture the average migrant from CA, NY, ans NJ who left those states since 2020 votes Republican 60-40 or greater.
Florida’s shift to the right is almost entirely from Fed up Northerners who moved South.
Probably true. Most of my experience is with co-workers in Austin in the tech sector that moved from California and brought that stupidity with them. I have to hear it all the time.

I hope all these frickers vote accordingly. Damn Demoncrats have destroyed their states and those stupid sons of bitches better not ruin ours.

Damn, The Knoxville Metro is catching up to the New Orleans metro. That's wild for what used to be Louisiana's crown jewel.
The hurricanes were obviously a big part, but leadership in that city and state are infamous nation wide for how inept and corrupt they are. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised

From my personal experience in meeting newbies, they are moving from California...not to "turn Arkansas blue", but instead to get the hell out of fricktard California.
Red counties in California are eastern and northern Cali, and those are mostly the places IMO that new Arkansas folks from Cali are coming from

People always forget about the Myrtle Beach MSA.
Its up to 383k as of 2022, and growing at a whopping 9%. Probably one of the fastest by percentage.

Looks to me like people are moving from shitty liberal policy states to conservative bastions
The only two on the list that are not solid blue are Ohio and Louisiana. Ohio is just miserable and the rust belt is dying overall. Louisiana has other issues, largely an economy reliant on O&G boom or bust, major metros are shitholes full of crime and the most attractive parts (south Louisiana) have recently been devastated by hurricanes and are an insurance nightmare

You are correct! According to the 2022 Census Bureau, Orleans Parish is around 370,000, whereas New Orleans metro area is around 1,246,176.
** Persons living in poverty is currently near 23% in Orleans Parish!

+563,000 Florida
Florida has always done pretty well as a retirement state, but there is a real affordability issue. More and more people are starting to feel the impacts.
While still net positive inward, there are also a record number of people leaving the state in recent years.

my considerations for retirement:
- staying in NWA
- Conway (Arkansas)
- Florence/Muscle Shoals
- Huntsville, AL - old friends there, haven't checked real estate. Guntersville is also cool.
- Oxford - but real estate has gone bonkers high there. Old friends there, would want something lakeside, Memphis being up the road makes me fricking depressed
- Gulf coast anywhere from Mississippi to Florida panhandle, the deciding factor being a great real estate deal
- passively checking out Laramie or Cheyene, WY, work in any political campaign opposing Liz Cheney
- might even check out Idaho/Montana, get a cowboy hat
- disappearing into the Ozark mountains never to be heard from again
- Boone, NC
- still love Nashville, but would rather be close to visit instead of living there, maybe something rural between Huntsville and Nash. Can't stand what Nashville has become.
but many people there I love

It's funny, Here in Nashville, people talk about a bad part of town and I laugh. After growing up in BR and NO, there's nowhere in Nashville that I couldn't skip through with $100 bills pinned to my clothes. Ghettos in South LA are just different.

Louisiana definitely suffers due to its proximity to Texas. Most new graduates that I know have their eyes on Houston and Dallas.
Posted on 2/28/24 at 1:14 pm to AUTiger789
Florida is definitely getting worse overall, though. I like the way the politics are trending to red from purple, but every city over 100K people is getting insufferable and overwhelmed by the influx. The infrastructure isn't there to support all these people.

I'm also worried it's going to start skewing blue from all the Californians and New Yorkers moving here.

I moved from south Charlotte to savannah. Charlotte has straight grown past rock hill fort mill Tega cay(not sure I spelled that one right) and isn't stopping. Also east Charlotte(Monroe indianland) is growing into
South carolina. Savannah is doing the same thing. It's growing into Hardeeville ridgeland bluffton and bluffton had already grown into hilton and Beaufort. Also charleston is growing and the ace of basin is the only thing keeping it from growing into Beaufort. Greenville is the biggest metro area in the state and it's exploding as well.

you're not a young girl walking in a park
a girl was murdered in the past year there, in a park, literally a hop skip from Belmont Univ
and don't expect the new Little San Fran Stockholm Syndrome white c-unts coming to power there to sympathize
