Lacassine, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Lacassine CDP is a very small community in Louisiana, with 175 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #459 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 54.7 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 Lacassine CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 34.9% 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 Lacassine CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 47.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 54.7 puts Lacassine CDP 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 175 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lacassine CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Lacassine 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.
