According to an online article from July 2nd, 2008, the lower ninth ward, which was the worst hit, only has about 1 out of 10 original residents living there. many of the buildings and houses are still abandoned.

Also an article mentions that there are tourists coming to New Orleans. But they are called "disaster tourists." They just come to view the devastation. Many people of New Orleans are mad because these people are paying to just see the devastation. None of them actually get out and experiance the devastion close up.

Overall, New Orleans is being rebuilt but very slowly. People are slowly starting to come back to a city that they once called home
