Yes, the areas not in city limits & not in STG. I live in one of those areas, but I’m guessing the city of BR will annex us? Or STG?

Yeah the parish has about 460,000 residents. Only about 375,000 now live within the city limits of Baton Rouge, St. George, Central, Zachary, or Baker.

It's challenging to figure out where exactly those areas are because both the city of Baton Rouge and the city of St. George seem to incorporate neighborhood by neighborhood, and even parcel by parcel in the areas between them. The city limits in the section around the Celtic Media center in the Bluebonnet/Coursey intersection is particularly confusing unless you look at a map.

And there's also a substantial gap with a lot of houses between the city of Central, which generally follows the Comite River/Amite River, and the city of Baton Rouge which seems to contain some neighborhoods northeast of Airline, but not all of them. Monticello is an example of one that is in neither city.

Zachary also looks like it grew out from a center, annexing neighborhoods as they got developed. So it looks like it has a very strange boundary that doesn't necessarily correlate to their also confusing school district boundary.
