Eros, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Eros town is a very small community in Louisiana, with 322 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #400 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 27.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Eros town earn a median of $27,045 a year, 65.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 50% below the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 33.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eros town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $525 a month, 62.7% below the national figure, or roughly $6,300 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 79.6% 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.

A median age of 27.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 322 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Eros town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Eros town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
