Today's Times-Pic:
The New Orleans area's population has reached 86 percent of its pre-Katrina level, according to a monthly report based on mail deliveries in September.
By counting the number of households, researchers found that New Orleans itself has regained 70 percent of its former households, which was the second-lowest of the six parishes surveyed by the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center. In three of the parishes -- St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and St. Tammany -- the number of households has surpassed the pre-Katrina figures.
