You surely don't mean 120K plus. And this isn't from New Orleans. You have to remember there are two Louisianas (I could say three, but that's a stretch). You have New Orleans and then you have everything else.
I would say take away the household incomes from the reservations in that part of the country and median household income would rise sharply. I can't qoute as fact on that, it is merely a supposition.
I don't want in anyway to take away from the hardiness and self reliance of the people of the West and Northwest. I actually applaud you guys. NOLA could use more of that. Just don't try to compare your issue to NOLA and somehow come out with the idea that you are better because of this example.
I wasn't drawing comparisons, I was posting facts.
You were the one who posted "those in the affected area aren't exactly wealthy", I'm saying New Orleans isn't exactly the affected area, it's the media that gives you that impression. Hurricanes or other such natural disasters don't give a rip about skin color or yearly income. You and several others can't make that distinction.
