ZIP code 70753

ZIP 70753 is a very small community in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, with 582 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #432 of 539 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 61.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 ZIP 70753 earn a median of $32,004 a year, 59.3% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 70753 is valued at $67,800, 77.7% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, 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. 88.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 61.8 puts ZIP 70753 well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 582 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 70753 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 70753 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.

ZIP 70753 is tabulated inside Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, one of 14 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 539 across Louisiana. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 70753 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 70753 reports a median household income of $32,004, 43% below the $55,998 county median, and 42% below the $54,720 typical LA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $67,800, 59% below the county figure and 56% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Louisiana charges 5% statewide, and local governments overlapping 70753 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 70753 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
