Fort Polk North, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Fort Polk North CDP is a small town in Louisiana, with 2,034 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #198 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 24.1 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 Fort Polk North CDP earn a median of $45,411 a year, 42.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 10.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fort Polk North CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,083 a month, 23% below the national figure, or roughly $12,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 1.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 24.1 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.

The Census withheld home value for Fort Polk North CDP 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.
