Cameron ZIP codes — Cameron Parish, Louisiana

Cameron Parish is a mid-size town in Louisiana, with 5,222 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 43 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Cameron Parish earn a median of $72,500 a year, 7.7% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 6.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cameron Parish is valued at $183,300, 39.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 96.9% 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Cameron Parish because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
