Terrytown CDP, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Terrytown CDP is a small city in Louisiana, with 25,844 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #18 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 34.6 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 Terrytown CDP earn a median of $56,944 a year, 27.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% above the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 18.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Terrytown CDP is valued at $212,000, 30.1% below the national figure and 23% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,065 a month, 24.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,780 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 48.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
