Hurricane Katrina prompts baby boom
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Medical professionals in New Orleans are blaming a local baby boom on Hurricane Katrina.
Figures show an increase this year of 8 births per 1,000 women even though the number of city residents has decreased by more than half, The Los Angeles Times reports.
Dr. Alfred Robichaux III, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Ochsner Health System, says last year there were 33 births per 1,000 women in New Orleans.
This year, with half the population of a year ago, the city has recorded 41 births per 1,000 women.
