And btw, New Orleans is not on the list. Fortunately, there is nobody from Louisiana on here or they might get upset you thinking Baton Rouge and New Orleans are the same.🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking it up, I'd say Miami-FL; L.A.; Houston; NoLa/BR and Atlanta. For sure Baton Rouge will be at the top in per capita, but it's also the smallest city here.
