The data shows it too. The population growth in Louisiana in the last 10 years is only 3%, well below national average. Compare that to Texas at 16%.
Another eye opener for me is the average age. It’s been climbing significantly over the last 5-7 years, much more than national average.
Louisiana’s population is stagnant because young people and young families are leaving and not coming back.
