I think the greatest impact of this forced migration was on the local level. The damage of the city was $150 billion and no one really had the money to repair everything. The majority of New Orleans residents were poor African Americans that didn 't have the funds to leave or migrate somewhere else. Even after 11 years the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is still visible. The government may have rebuild the french quarter resulting in a steady tourist rate, but once you go further into the city, you still see the poverty and destruction the cities poor regions were left in.
