Shenandoah CDP, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Shenandoah CDP is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 18,259 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #26 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 40.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Shenandoah CDP earn a median of $107,544 a year, 36.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 100% above the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Shenandoah CDP is valued at $319,300, 5.2% above the national figure and 85% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,216 a month, 13.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,592 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.6% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.9% 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.
