Editor’s Note: Yet another float in the parade of data showing how utterly atrocious John Bel Edwards’ performance was as Louisiana’s governor.
(By Steve Wilson/The Center Square) – Recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows only four of Louisiana’s 15 largest cities had population growth, with the rest losing population.
Data shows that Southern cities grew by 1%, with 13 of the 15 fastest-growing municipalities in the region and eight in Texas alone. The report measures population changes between 2020 and 2023.
“The population growth across the South in 2023 was driven by significant numeric and percentage gains among its cities,” Crystal Delbé, a statistician in the Census Bureau’s Population Division, said in a release.
New Orleans was the biggest loser, its population decreasing from 383,241 in 2020 to 364,136 in 2023, a loss of 19,015 residents or nearly 5% of the population.
