Ossun, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Ossun CDP is a small town in Louisiana, with 1,940 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #201 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 37.1 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 Ossun CDP earn a median of $40,283 a year, 48.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 8.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ossun CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,050 a month, 25.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,600 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. 80.1% 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 for Ossun 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.
