Violet CDP, LA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Violet CDP is a small town in Louisiana, with 4,454 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #119 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 36.4 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 Violet CDP earn a median of $48,897 a year, 37.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 21.9% 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 Violet CDP is valued at $180,100, 40.6% below the national figure and 4% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,179 a month, 16.1% below the national figure, or roughly $14,148 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.9% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.5% 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.
