Evergreen, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Evergreen town is a very small community in Louisiana, with 237 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #434 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 58.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Evergreen town earn a median of $32,000 a year, 59.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% 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 19.8% 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 Evergreen town is valued at $114,700, 62.2% below the national figure and 34% below the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $325 a month, 76.9% below the national figure, or roughly $3,900 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.2% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.6% 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.

A median age of 58.3 puts Evergreen town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 237 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Evergreen town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
