KATRINA ONE YEAR LATER: A city in ruins, then and today

The aftermath

The dead: 1,833 people died directly or indirectly because of Katrina:

• Louisiana: 1,577

• Mississippi: 238

• Florida: 14

• Alabama and Georgia: 2 each

The unknown: About 50 bodies -- half in New Orleans alone -- have been found in the last year but remain unidentified. Louisiana State Medical Examiner Louis Cataldie has estimated that dozens, perhaps hundreds, of bodies will never be found.

Housing:

• Louisiana: About 205,000 residences, including 123,000 houses and more than 80,000 apartments, were significantly damaged or washed away.

• Mississippi: About 65,000 homes were wiped out.

Population: In New Orleans, the population shrunk from 485,000 before Katrina to 230,000.

Facilities: In New Orleans:

• As of July 31, fewer than half of New Orleans' 3,414 restaurants had reopened.

• 85% of its hotels are open.

• Public schools: 50 are operation, down from 128.

• Eight libraries have opened of the 13 that were damaged.

Jobs: With housing in short supply, another challenge for New Orleans businesses is a lack of workers, which has driven up wages. Burger King is offering new employees a $6,000 signing bonus and $10 an hour.

Evacuees: About 150,000 former Louisiana residents remain in Houston. More than 200,000 people fled there. About two-thirds of evacuees in Houston get government housing assistance, and 66% plan to put down roots, according to a survey released in July by Zogby International.

Insurance: Allstate, State Farm, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. and others have settled about 95% of the record 1.7-million Katrina-related claims and paid out about $41 billion.

On Friday, the Louisiana Supreme Court upheld two new state laws giving people until Sept. 1, 2007, to sue insurers or file claims over damage from Katrina and until Oct. 1, 2007, for damages from Hurricane Rita.
