Denham Springs city, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Denham Springs city is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 9,362 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #62 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 44.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Denham Springs city earn a median of $77,418 a year, 1.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Denham Springs city is valued at $188,700, 37.8% below the national figure and 9% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $950 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 72.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
