Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Louisiana

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Higher-income zip codes cluster prominently in the northwestern corner around the Shreveport-Bossier City suburbs and in the southwestern Acadiana region near Lafayette and Lake Charles, where several zones exceed $80,000–$100,000. The Greater New Orleans metropolitan area in the southeast displays stark intra-urban inequality, with affluent suburban zip codes adjacent to some of the state's lowest-income areas falling below $25,000. Central and northeastern Louisiana, particularly the Mississippi Delta region, consistently registers among the lowest median incomes statewide, reflecting persistent rural poverty concentrated in the state's historically underinvested Black Belt communities.
