All estimates are weighted.
Source: Displaced New Orleans Residents Pilot Study (DNORPS), pre-Katrina characteristics except for age (which is at the survey date).
Source: Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), metropolitan United States, Wave 1 characteristics (late 2004) except for age (which is at Wave 5).
"Uninhabitable" is designated when the household respondent reports that the housing unit was destroyed or damaged so seriously as to make it uninabitable, or when the housing unit was in a neighborhood with a flood depth of 4 or more feet. All other cases are coded as "Habitable."
Rao-Scott chi-square test of difference, adjusting for DNORPS and SIPP clustering within households and for the DNORPS stratified sample design.
