Louisiana Definitions

Louisiana - name of the state (I hope everyone could figure that out.)

parish - equivalent of a County. (Orleans Parish = Orleans County elsewhere in US)

home neighborhood - section of a city. As an example, in New Orleans, French Quarter would be the home neighborhood. On our data entry form it is the Home Neighborhood of the missing person.
