In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, many Louisianans, particularly from New Orleans and surrounding areas, relocated to Texas and other states for safety and refuge. Cities like Houston saw a significant influx of evacuees during and after the hurricane. This movement was largely due to the extensive damage caused by the hurricane and the immediate need for shelter, employment, and support.
In 2006, while some Louisianans returned home as recovery efforts progressed, others chose to remain in Texas or even migrate there permanently due to the ongoing rebuilding challenges in Louisiana. Therefore, during the 2005-2006 period, there was a notable trend of people moving from Louisiana to Texas, particularly in the context of post-disaster displacement.
