Lydia, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Lydia CDP is a small town in Louisiana, with 1,119 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #263 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 36.4 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 Lydia CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 25.9% 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 Lydia CDP is valued at $136,200, 55.1% below the national figure and 21% below the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,046 a month, 25.6% below the national figure, or roughly $12,552 across a full year. 47.7% 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.

The Census withheld household income for Lydia 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.
