Oretta, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Oretta CDP is a very small community in Louisiana, with 565 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #350 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 34.3 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 Oretta 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 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oretta CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 65.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 565 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Oretta CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Oretta 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.
