Even within the Cajuns, there is a divide between Prairie Cajuns and Bayou Cajuns (Lafayette being the cultural crossroads between the two). Within just the city of New Orleans, the culture varies widely
between neighborhoods.
What is Donaldsonville and Port Allen then?

Ok, so 70% of people I know in BR are Catholic. That wouldn't be the case in MS
Baton Rouge has a little bit from all parts of Louisiana. It's very Catholic compared to a typical southern town, but it's more Protestant than Lafayette.

River Rats, they are the buffers between Creoles and Bayou Cajuns (aka, a blend of both)

a lot of old bible thumpers that haven't ran away to Livingston Parish yet
This is the true difference between Livingston Parish and Ascension Parish. LP is Baptist, AP is Catholic.

St. Francisville is prettier than New Roads, that's for sure.

Yup, but even in LP there is huge division between lower LP (Cajun/Catholic) and Upper LP (redneck/Protestant).
The people of lower LP (French Settlement, Port Vincent, Whitehall, ect) are pretty much the same as people from Sorrento, St. Amant, and Lake imo, maybe just a little methyer

Because the cultural differences are always north-south, not east west.
Primarily fundamentalist protestant v. catholic.
Abortion brought them together and has subsumed the differences and the fundamentalists have, unfortunately, won on most everything.
So the differences aren't significant anymore.

Every damn crawfish I ate until I went to LSU came from the River Parishes.

Personally a good 75% of people I know at LSU or in baton Rouge are Catholic. Also I think a good portion of the Mississippi coast is more like Louisiana than the rest of Mississippi

BC about 15 min north of ville platte the Cajun becomes stricken with a case of the red neck

The state of Washington is culturally divided East and West.

I guess there may be a difference socioeconomically between NW La. and NE La.
East side of NELA is Delta farming. West side not so much farming, more timber and oil and gas. And because of the river influence, the Delta is less uptight socially. Example. Columbia, on the Ouachita, has bars. 50 miles away the Baptist towns in the hills don't.

Baton Rouge is more like a North Louisiana town.

Because both the north and the south agree that west louisiana sucks

East la > west la by a lot.

what are you counting?

What I find even more interesting is... northern LP ( north of i12) has only one catholic parish. That's a huge population. Meanwhile right across the amite central has its own parish, baker has a parish and even zachary...
