Moonshine CDP, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Moonshine CDP is a very small community in Louisiana, with 214 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #444 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 40.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Moonshine CDP earn a median of $33,400 a year, 57.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% below the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 18.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Moonshine CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 80.2% 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.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Moonshine 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.
