This article describes the rebuilding outcomes of hurricane-damaged properties in Louisiana and Mississippi using direct measures of remaining damage collected using onsite observation of properties’ exterior conditions. The empirical analysis presents representative estimates of the rebuilding outcomes of owner-occupied properties and renter-occupied properties in early 2010, which is between 4 and 5 years after the 2005 hurricanes. The article then examines the extent to which damaged structures were clustered in concentrated pockets of remaining damage.
