I didn't know that a lot of people had left New Orleans recently. I don't think it was a trend or anything. Are you asserting that it was? Anne Rice's sister worked at the same company I did when I lived in San Francisco. It looks like Anne moved to California. Perhaps she wanted to be closer to her sister? I remember when she sold her big mansion in New Orleans. I would suspect that like a lot of people getting older, more temperate weather and the lure of spending time closer to family members are much more important factors than anything going on in New Orleans might have been. In my own family, my brother has left the south and moved out west to live with me. It is nice particularly to have siblings close by, especially after parents die and they are your only live childhood memories, right there with you. It is warm and comfortable and happy. But I don't know. From the fond tone of her article, it certainly doesn't seem like the culture of New Orleans, or the large number of black people there, had anything to do with it.
