Change in USPS households receiving mail, 2011-2012

Fully 66 out of 72 New Orleans neighborhoods gained active residential addresses since 2010.

About half of all neighborhoods have recovered over 90 percent of their households since Katrina.

The gain of more than 12,300 active residential addresses receiving mail since 2010 may indicate that a large number of homes have been renovated and occupied over the last 2 years. Census population estimates and USPS households receiving mail, 2010-2012
