The Deaths in N.O - Colorblind

Parts of The Article that I've been trying to get to people for the Longest

Slightly more than half of the bodies were found in the city's
poorer neighborhoods, with the remainder scattered throughout middle-class and
even some richer districts.
"The fascinating thing is that it's so spread
out," said Joachim Singelmann, director of the Louisiana Population Data Center
at Louisiana State University. "It's not just the Lower 9th Ward or New Orleans
East, which everybody has heard about. It's across the board, including some
well-to-do neighborhoods."
Because New Orleans is one of the nation's poorest
cities, many of the victims were found in neighborhoods that were impoverished
by national standards. But by the standards of New Orleans, those neighborhoods
were economically stable, and fatalities citywide were distributed with only a
slight bias for economic status.


THANK YOU FOR SAYIN THAT JOACHIM!.. I've Been Stressing That For The Longest! ..lol
