They are about the same in every area. I thought that there would be a higher population in the other two areas compared to our area, but I don't work for National Geographic. | They are about the same in every area.

The desity in New orleans should probably be higher than what is shown.

New Orleans-Since it is in a flood region, it is hard to know the facts about land that is or can be constantly changing. In this area there are places that have a large amount of population next to something very low. It is hard to pin oint any fact about our changing world. Now that New Orleans has been flooded, everything has changed. The area has been swept out and the information is most likely completely incorrect. | New Orleans-Since it is in a flood region, it is hard to know the facts about land that is or can be constantly changing.
