Mangham town, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mangham town is a very small community in Louisiana, with 642 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #330 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 36.6 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 Mangham town earn a median of $41,058 a year, 47.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% below the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 30.2% 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 Mangham town is valued at $113,800, 62.5% below the national figure and 34% below the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $761 a month, 45.9% below the national figure, or roughly $9,132 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
