Belle Chasse, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Belle Chasse CDP is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 11,046 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 38.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Belle Chasse CDP earn a median of $96,381 a year, 22.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 79% above the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 7.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Belle Chasse CDP is valued at $361,800, 19.2% above the national figure and 109% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,545 a month, 9.9% above the national figure, or roughly $18,540 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
