Married Couple (% of all Households) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Louisiana

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the northwestern corner of the state and scattered rural areas across the Acadiana region exhibit the highest married-couple household rates, frequently exceeding 60–70%, while urban cores—particularly New Orleans in the southeast, Shreveport in the northwest, and Baton Rouge in the east-central area—display notably lower rates, often falling below 30%. A clear urban-rural divide persists statewide, with suburban zip codes surrounding major metros typically registering moderate rates in the 40–55% range, forming transitional bands between high-rate rural areas and low-rate city centers. The Mississippi Delta region in the northeast also stands out with persistently low married-couple percentages, likely reflecting the area's higher poverty rates and distinct demographic composition.
