Mississippi's poor areas have worst hurricane impact -- AP analysis
September 5, 2005





The following is from an Associated Press report.

People living in the path of Hurricane Katrina's worst devastation were twice as likely as most Americans to be poor and without a car — factors that might help explain why so many failed to evacuate as the storm approached.

An Associated Press analysis of Census data shows that the residents in the three dozen hardest-hit neighborhoods in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama also were disproportionately minority and had incomes $10,000 below the national average.
