New Orleans population is between 360,000 or 380,000.Wikipedia has New Orleans' population at 469,000 which would be a higher population pre Katrina. I don't know where those figures come from because there are still a lot of neighborhoods that are still half empty. But the fact is New Orleans is 75% of it's pre Katrina population of 450,000.

Before Hurricane Katrina, the population was about 455,000. Two years later, in 2007, the population had built back up some, but was at a much lower figure of 273,000.
