BR has always been kind of a mixed bag. I think there are a lot of French catholics here though. I'm not one of them though.


A small percentage, maybe. I don’t think as many once you get to Greenwell Springs, Central and Baker.

I grew up in Central and I'd guess there were as many Catholics as all others combined. I don't know about the French heritage % but there were plenty of Broussards and Thibodauxs. That area was certainly more redneck than anything else though in the 80s.

BR is the Atlanta of Acadiana. May have some Cajun families that have been here for over 100-150 years, but they moved here from Acadiana.
