South Mansfield, LA population, income and ZIP codes

South Mansfield village is a very small community in Louisiana, with 500 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #356 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 27% of them. The median age here is 35.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 South Mansfield village earn a median of $15,592 a year, 80.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 71% below 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 69.2% 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 South Mansfield village is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $357 a month, 74.6% below the national figure, or roughly $4,284 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 16.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld home value for South Mansfield village 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.
