New Orleans is a large coastal city (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 484,674 people and 182 constituent neighborhoods, New Orleans is the largest community in Louisiana.
Unlike some cities, New Orleans isn't mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in New Orleans are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, New Orleans is a city of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in New Orleans who work in office and administrative support jobs (15.04%), sales jobs (10.76%), and food service (8.34%).
New Orleans is one of the most attractive larger cities for people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters. This makes it a good place to live for young singles in their 20s and 30s and who have undergraduate or graduate degrees and are starting their professional careers. Although New Orleans is a large city, this demographic is significant enough that young professionals will find many others like themselves here, with really good opportunities for friendships, recreation, romance, and more.
The city is also nautical, which means that parts of New Orleans are somewhat historic and bounded by the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
One of the benefits of being a big city like New Orleans is having a public transportation system, but in New Orleans the transit system is the mode of choice for lots of people getting to and from work every day. You will find many people using the bus for their daily commute, even though other transportation options exist. If you ask these commuters, many will tell you that not having to drive in the snarl of big city traffic is one of main reasons for leaving the car at home, or even not owning a car at all. With so many people taking the bus, New Orleans benefits from a reduction in air pollution and traffic.
