Luling CDP, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Luling CDP is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 13,873 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 38.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Luling CDP earn a median of $82,273 a year, 4.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 53% above the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 11.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Luling CDP is valued at $268,400, 11.5% below the national figure and 55% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,570 a month, 11.7% above the national figure, or roughly $18,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.6% 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.
