Slidell city, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Slidell city is a small city in Louisiana, with 28,664 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #15 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 38.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Slidell city earn a median of $66,657 a year, 15.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Slidell city is valued at $207,800, 31.5% below the national figure and 20% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,381 a month, 1.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,572 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
