As of the census of 2000, there were 110,257 people, 43,506 households, and 27,104 families residing in the city. The population density was 894.5/km sq (2,316.7/mi sq). There were 46,865 housing units at an average density of 380.2/km sq (984.7/mi sq). The racial makeup of the city was 68.23% White, 28.51% African American, 0.25% Native American, 1.44% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.58% from Race (United States Census)other races, and 0.97% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.88% of the population. Lafayette is the only major city in Louisiana to be growing in population instead of shrinking (even before the Hurricane Katrinahurricane-caused migration from New Orleans and surrounding areas). However, accoriding to a 2005 estimate, Lake Charles, Louisiana has resumed growing once again after a slight loss of .03 % between 1990 and 2000. Lafayette is approximately 90% Roman Catholic and thus, has a large number of Catholic schools.{{Factdate Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafayette%2C_Louisiana
