Before the storm, Orleans age profile showed the city was 1% younger than the rest of the nation. 11.7% of Orleans was over 65 vs 12.4% nationwide. 1.5% are lucky enough to still be in Orleans past age 85.

Where do they live? Do they have relatives in town? Is there a difference in the age profile based on race? I have far more questions than answers.

One statistic that does stand out is that fewer Orleanians are married (35%) than is the norm in the US (51%).
