Prospect CDP, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Prospect CDP is a very small community in Louisiana, with 488 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #362 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 47.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Prospect CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Prospect CDP is valued at $167,900, 44.7% below the national figure and 3% below the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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.
