New Orleans' official 2010 census population is 343,829, agency reports

"Five years after Hurricane Katrina emptied New Orleans and prompted the largest mass migration in modern American history, the 2010 Census counted 343,829 people living in the still-recovering city, a 29 percent drop since the last head count a decade ago, according to data released today....

...Jefferson Parish ranked as Louisiana's second-most populous parish in a decennial census with 432,552 residents, though it too lost ground compared with its 2000 total of 455,000 people, the data show."

All things considered, I think that is good. I remember on the news them talking about NOLA never getting about 250k ever again.
