Youngsville city, LA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Youngsville city is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 16,664 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #30 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Youngsville city earn a median of $113,164 a year, 44.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 110% above 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 9.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Youngsville city is valued at $263,200, 13.2% below the national figure and 52% above the $173,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,318 a month, 6.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,816 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 2.3×, 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. 89.9% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
