Yes, I categorically deny that that's true. The affluent areas hit were
Lakeview, much of New Orleans East, the Gentilly area, and all of St.

and large. The lower ninth ward would be the poorest area. In terms of
land area, New Orleans East is probably as large as the entire remainder
of the city, and is home to the NASA space shuttle facility.
