Using data from the Kaiser Post-Katrina Baseline Survey of the New Orleans Area, this Survey Brief profiles young adults (those ages 18-34) living in the Greater New Orleans area, a group that will play a key role in the success and rebuilding of New Orleans. The brief looks at whether they plan to stay in the New Orleans area, their outlook for the future, their demographic profile, and some of the challenges they face.

The Kaiser Post-Katrina Baseline Survey of the New Orleans Area was conducted door-to-door from September 12 to November 13, 2006.
