Bossier ZIP codes — Bossier Parish, Louisiana

Bossier Parish is a mid-size city in Louisiana, with 129,134 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 36.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Bossier Parish earn a median of $66,336 a year, 15.5% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bossier Parish is valued at $215,100, 29.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,168 a month, 16.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,016 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.1% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.1% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
