I'm surprised no one has mentioned the other part of the equation: New Orleans: 70% non-white, median household income $37k Flint: 63% non-white, median household income $44k Puerto Rico: 98% latino, though most are also classified as white, median household income $19.5k Houston: 50% non-white, median household income $61.5k Houston is whiter and richer than New Orleans, Flint and Puerto Rico. I think we're kidding ourselves if we think this doesn't play into why the responses are different from both the government and people in other parts of the country.
