Affordability & income context

Acadia Parish: #5 most affordable nationally · income context

At the metro's ACS median household income of $60,910, this 1-bedroom FMR takes 13.2% of annual income. It is well below the 30% affordability guide for a median-income household.

The 2-bedroom figure places Acadia Parish in the lowest-rent tenth of HUD metro areas, using the same FY2026 HUD schedule as the national comparison.

With 409,907 residents, this is a mid-sized metro benchmark rather than a single-neighborhood rent quote.

Its 2-bedroom FMR is in the lowest national tenth (#5 most affordable of 387 metros), though the household budget still depends on local income.

The studio-through-two-bedroom FMR bands stay below 30% of recorded median income here; the larger-bedroom rows show where that headroom narrows.

Observed renter burden: 43.6% of the 50,440 renter households counted by ACS paid at least 30% of income in gross rent. This ACS 2023 household measure is distinct from the FY2026 HUD FMR benchmark.

ACS median household income lags the FY2026 HUD FMR schedule. The income share is a same-metro cross-source read (Census ACS B19013 vs HUD FMR), not a same-vintage ratio.
