Garyville, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Garyville CDP is a small town in Louisiana, with 2,216 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #187 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 42.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Garyville CDP earn a median of $86,958 a year, 10.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 62% above the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 15.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Garyville CDP is valued at $144,400, 52.4% below the national figure and 17% below the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.7×, 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. 90.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Garyville 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.
