River Ridge CDP, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
River Ridge CDP is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 13,170 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #36 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 46.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in River Ridge CDP earn a median of $84,464 a year, 7.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 57% above the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. 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 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in River Ridge CDP is valued at $330,700, 9% above the national figure and 91% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,067 a month, 24.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,804 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.9% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
