 To coincide with the 20 anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, The Data Center, a New Orleans-based independent research center, issued a report, "The New Orleans Index at Twenty: Measuring Greater New Orleans’ Progress Towards Resilience.” The report was informed by data from many Federal agencies, including the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Federal Emergency Management Administration, Internal Revenue Service, and U.S. Energy Information Administration. It examines more than 20 indicators to provide essential insights into the region’s resilience capacity, highlighting strengths and weaknesses across key contributing factors organized into four categories of housing and infrastructure, economy and workforce, wealth, and people. PAA collaborated with The Data Center to create this visual briefing sheet below.
