If you're wondering what the population & steets of East Orleans City were in 2010 (before the flood), look no further than this map. The changes are stark. Those in the city's Black community have been largely displaced by the flood and are significantly underrepresented on the map. As a result, the neighborhood's orange dots are significantly less numerous than they were in 2000.
The total population in the city increased by just over 5,000 people from 2000 to 2010. However, this increase was unequally distributed across the neighborhoods. Half of the neighborhoods gained more children than lost them, while half of them experienced a decrease. This indicates that the city's population is increasingly racially diverse, and racial diversity continues to grow. Population growth in New Orleans' neighborhoods is generally a good indicator of a city's progress.
In 2006, an estimated 10,000-14,000 people were living in the city. Despite the flood, the city is slowly rebuilding. By 2020, the city is expected to be back at pre-Katrina levels, and the real estate market should be back to normal. And as a bonus, that means that the city's population should be back to its pre-Katrina levels by the next census.
The town of Orleans is located on Cape Cod's eastern coast, south of Provincetown and twenty miles east of Barnstable. It shares Rock Harbor with Eastham and provides access to the bay. The town's historical society and museum is located in the historic meeting house. The town is served by three post offices. A new library opened in Orleans in 2013 is named after the original benefactor of the library. It is supported by the Cape Libraries Automated Materials Sharing (CLAMS) library network.
