in 2010 the racial and ethnic makeup of New Orleans was 60.2% Black and African American, 33.0% White, 2.9% Asian (1.7% Vietnamese, 0.3% Indian, 0.3% Chinese, 0.1% Filipino, 0.1% Korean), 0.0% Pacific Islander, and 1.7% people of two or more races.
It recovered from Civil War but was in decline in 1950-1960s.
Much of the city was built on drained swamp land. The land sank and was then below sea level. Nothing to do with climate change. It was swamp land 250 years ago before combustible engines.
The French knew300 years ago New Orleans was going to be periodically washed away, and some elements proposed an upstream location that would endure for centuries. But what the hell, it was just 2-story buildings, and they had lots of slaves to rebuild them, so they went with it.
new orleans is a total shithole. take a visit there. it will RUIN the storybook feeling that they show in the history books. its pure trash . the ONLY nice places downtown are the places on the "historic block" where they show mardi gras. THATS IT.
New Orleans hasn't recovered because the foreign dual citizens occupying the US government are actively trying to destroy the country. It could be rebuilt if there was political will to do so.
In the 20th century, New Orleans' government and business leaders believed they needed to drain and develop outlying areas to provide for the city's expansion. The most ambitious development during this period was a drainage plan devised by engineer and inventor A. Baldwin Wood, designed to break the surrounding swamp's stranglehold on the city's geographic expansion. Until then, urban development in New Orleans was largely limited to higher ground along the natural river levees and bayous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Baldwin_Wood
Wood's pump system allowed the city to drain huge tracts of swamp and marshland and expand into low-lying areas. Over the 20th century, rapid subsidence, both natural and human-induced, resulted in these newly populated areas subsiding to several feet below sea level.

Your fault for living underwater

Gentrification.
People had their homes stolen by mandatory sales. That city statistically flipped.
