Lafitte CDP, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lafitte CDP is a very small community in Louisiana, with 464 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #367 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 49.4 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 Lafitte CDP earn a median of $47,059 a year, 40.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below 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 2.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lafitte CDP is valued at $190,200, 37.3% below the national figure and 10% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 82.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 464 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lafitte CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Lafitte 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.
