Spearsville village, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Spearsville village is a very small community in Louisiana, with 165 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #460 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 44.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Spearsville village earn a median of $50,938 a year, 35.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% below 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 23% 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 Spearsville village is valued at $85,000, 72% below the national figure and 51% below the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 86.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 165 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Spearsville village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Spearsville 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.
