Vinton town, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Vinton town is a small town in Louisiana, with 3,245 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #143 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Vinton town earn a median of $41,063 a year, 47.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 38.8% 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 Vinton town is valued at $108,900, 64.1% below the national figure and 37% below the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $954 a month, 32.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,448 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.9% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 40.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
