6	Rand Population Study The population of New Orleans will likely reach about 272,000 in September 2008 – amounting to 56 percent of the population of 485,000 before Hurricane Katrina struck in August, according to a study issued March 15, 2006, by the RAND Corporation, www.rand.org . The report, produced by the RAND Gulf States Policy Institute, estimates the city's current population at about 155,000 and forecasts it will rise to about 198,000 in September. Only a few thousand people were living in New Orleans last September. The new RAND study provides the most detailed estimates to date of the likely rate at which residents may return to New Orleans. It was prepared at the request of the Bring New Orleans Back Commission and is designed to help government officials plan the city's rebuilding. The study says a key factor determining how quickly New Orleans can be repopulated is the availability of housing. The faster housing becomes available, the faster people can return to the city. Services, employment, federal funding and schools will be restored more rapidly as the population rises, the report says.

8	Demand for housing swamps St. Tammany St. Tammany Parish has used aerial photography and computer data to calculate that 18,870 homes in St. Tammany Parish alone flooded, mostly in Slidell. This is in addition to thousands of others damaged by wind and falling trees.
9	Housing market study St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana A recent market study by a partner in the state's largest appraisal firm attempts to quantify the housing need: It says the St. Tammany market could instantly absorb 9,950 new units -- roughly equal to one-eighth of the existing stock. The study, prepared by appraiser Wesley Moore, puts St. Tammany's current housing demand at more than three times the annual number of homes built in the parish. See http://www.knowledgeplex.org/news/145335.html With no new inventory added, demand would grow to 12,700 units by the end of the year and to 15,460 units in two years, the study says.
