Lucky, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Lucky village is a very small community in Louisiana, with 186 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #452 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Lucky village earn a median of $24,063 a year, 69.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 55% 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 32.8% 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 Lucky village is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $863 a month, 38.6% below the national figure, or roughly $10,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 43% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. 79.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 186 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lucky village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Lucky village 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.
