ZIP code 70757

ZIP 70757 is a small town in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, with 2,204 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #313 of 539 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 46.8 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 70757 earn a median of $41,477 a year, 47.2% 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 28.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 70757 is valued at $132,500, 56.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $762 a month, 45.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,144 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22% 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. 72.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.

ZIP 70757 is tabulated inside Iberville Parish, Louisiana, one of 8 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 70757 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 70757 reports a median household income of $41,477, 36% below the $64,849 county median, and 24% below the $54,720 typical LA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $132,500, 9% below the county figure and 14% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $762 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 70757 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 70757 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.
