Perry CDP, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Perry CDP is a small town in Louisiana, with 1,014 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #272 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 34.1 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 Perry CDP earn a median of $71,534 a year, 8.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% above 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 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Perry CDP is valued at $181,500, 40.2% below the national figure and 5% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85% 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. 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.
The Census withheld gross rent for Perry 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.
