18. Opelousas, Louisiana > Town median household income: $20,434 > State median household income: $45,047 > Town poverty rate: 41.9% > Town population: 16,638


quote:

Opelousas is the poorest town in Louisiana and one of the poorest nationwide. Approximately 42% of the area’s 16,638 residents live below the poverty line, more than double the state’s poverty rate and nearly three times the national poverty rate of 15.5%. As might be expected, a large share of Opelousas’ households receive government aid. Nearly one-third the town’s population received in the past year SNAP benefits — formerly food stamps — compared to about 16% of state residents.




Bayou Cajuns >>> Prairie Cajuns


But I'd still kick it at Evangeline Downs, Me.

There's got to be some places up north poorer than Opelousas. They've got a Lowe's so I know they're doing ok.

There must be a mistake. Opelousas is the gem of Louisiana.

It's even poorer than you think. Have a family member that lives there that probably makes what the whole town does combined

I will pit Ferriday up against Opelousas any day of the week. I guess those Lake Bruin baws make that town's income rise a bit.
