Abstract

In this research brief, we explore how places affected by natural disasters recover their populations through indirect, or “stage,” migration. Specifically, we consider the idea that post-disaster impediments (e.g., housing and property damage) in disaster-affected areas spawn migration flows toward and, over time, to disaster-affected areas through intermediary destinations. Taking as our case Orleans Parish over a 5-year period after Hurricane Katrina, we show that stage migration accounted for up to about one-fourth of population recovery. We close by discussing the implications, limitations, and potential extensions of our work.

Orleans Parish and the City of New Orleans refer to the same place. Hereafter, for consistency, we use the former. Parishes in Louisiana are equivalent to US counties.

Although estimates of county-to-county migration flows produced by the US Census Bureau come close, these are problematic because the timing criteria for identifying migrants changed between the 2000 Decennial Census and the various county-to-county migration flow files in the mid- to late-2000 s from American Community Survey (ACS), raising issues of comparability.

The IRS periodizes their estimates using a 2-year window where, for example, for the period 2005–2006, 2005 is the year in which migration occurred and 2006 is the tax-filing year. Hereafter, we refer to each period using the former year, the year in which migration actually occurred.

While county-to-county migration flow data are available from the IRS for 2011 and 2012, “due to the methodological changes between (these and past estimates), the data are not directly comparable” (Pierce 2015: 2).

To facilitate a clearer display, the y-axis in Fig. 6 has been adjusted so that the maximum value displayed is one-half the maximum value displayed in Fig. 5.
