Generational Shift (Exercise 3)

Over time the younger Vietnamese generations lost the ability to speak fluently in their parent's language and have become more integrated into the American culture. There was a majority decline in the desire to be farmers and fisherman and an increase in the desire to pursue other works. Even so, there are those who still want for the original New Orleans Vietnamese work style and the community still thrives today.

This is a map of census tracts for Orleans Parish, Plaquemines Parish, and St. Bernard Parish. This census data is used to help understand the change in Vietnamese population of these areas from before Katrina to after Katrina. The two markers indicate the areas with the highest concentration of Vietnamese population. The previous map was based around the area with the highest Vietnamese population in Versailles.
