Roanoke, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Roanoke CDP is a very small community in Louisiana, with 724 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #306 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 25.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Roanoke 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 30.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Roanoke CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 46.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 25.1 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 724 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Roanoke CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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