NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The city's population has surpassed half of its count before Hurricane Katrina emptied the city, according to a new report based on utility hookups.
New Orleans gained more than 30,000 residents between July 2006 and March 2007, for a total population of about 255,140, according to the report by local demographer Greg Rigamer.
"The trend is positive," said Raphael Rabalais, senior planner for Rigamer's firm, GCR & Associates.
