Kenner city, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kenner city is a small city in Louisiana, with 65,113 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #7 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Kenner city earn a median of $64,099 a year, 18.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kenner city is valued at $241,800, 20.3% below the national figure and 40% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,129 a month, 19.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,548 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
