Household Average Size by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Louisiana

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Larger household sizes (3.0+) cluster prominently in the southwestern Acadiana region, parts of the northern parishes near Monroe and Shreveport suburbs, and scattered zip codes in the central part of the state, likely reflecting family-oriented rural and suburban communities. The New Orleans metropolitan area displays notable internal contrast, with several urban core zip codes registering among the lowest average household sizes in the state (below 2.0), while surrounding suburban parishes trend closer to the statewide median. Baton Rouge similarly shows a pocket of smaller households in its urban center, consistent with higher concentrations of single-person households and student populations near university areas.
