Joyce CDP, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Joyce CDP is a very small community in Louisiana, with 247 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #432 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 31.6 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 Joyce CDP earn a median of $55,399 a year, 29.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above 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 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Joyce CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $575 a month, 59.1% below the national figure, or roughly $6,900 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 8.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 247 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Joyce CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value for Joyce 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.
