Interviews per Neighborhood
With
a sufficient number of Interviews, we can investigate processes like
The efficacy of Neighborhood-Association strategies for recovery,
Social
influences on the crime rate,
And other
macro and multi-level
processes.
Sample Size is N = ca. 7,000
(Hollow red dots are interviews outside Orleans Parish)
Interviews per Census Tract
This is more fine-grained than Neighborhoods,
and consequently, has fewer average interviews per district.
Sample Size is N = ca. 7,000
Neighborhood Associations
We
are investigating the efficacy of
Neighborhood-Association strategies
for recovery,
Sample Size is N = ca. 7,000
Detailed View:
Not all neighborhood associations have responded to our survey yet.
How many people know the name of their
Neighborhood Association?
Selected Findings Mapped
Note: We use the finest (smallest) "district" size we can, consistent with getting reliable data/averages per district

Physical Characteristics:
Flooding caused Damage,
Damage created Blight, and
Damage hindered Repopulation

Reduction of Blight, 2006-2010
Map shows only census tracts that flooded substantially.
Map excludes housing developments (because the government demolished & rebuilt them),
and tracts that had less than 10% blight in 2006 (because small changes would represent large percentage changes).

Your
Own Recovery
Recovery
does not fully correspond
to flooded areas.
What other factors play a role?

were conducted at widely different times)

"My
Neighborhood Can Be Protected from Flooding"
Optimism
also does not
fully correspond
to incidence of flooding.
What other factors play a role?

"I
Have Enough to Repair or Replace Storm Damage"
Resources
for Recover do not
fully correspond
to incidence of flooding.
Income or Wealth certainly plays a role, too. What else matters?
