Woodworth, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Woodworth town is a small town in Louisiana, with 2,352 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #179 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 29.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Woodworth town earn a median of $78,214 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 45% 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 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Woodworth town is valued at $298,400, 1.6% below the national figure and 72% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $886 a month, 37% below the national figure, or roughly $10,632 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

A median age of 29.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
