Broussard city, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Broussard city is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 13,791 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #35 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 33.9 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 Broussard city earn a median of $116,613 a year, 48.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 117% 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 16.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Broussard city is valued at $301,000, essentially level with the national figure and 74% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $982 a month, 30.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,784 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.1% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
