Hurricane Katrina remains the costliest tropical cyclone in U.S. history, with an estimated $201.3 billion in associated damages.

After the storm, approximately one quarter of New Orleans's housing stock was abandoned.

Housing prices have skyrocketed in parts of the city with higher ground, such as the Holy Cross section of the Lower Ninth Ward , where Calvin Alexander resides.
