What it’s like
The place. Delcambre is a small town in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Typical home values are modest, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild, with the coldest month still a pleasant stretch of cool days, while summers turn hot, and the year brings a lot of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in the building trades, shops and manufacturing. Across Iberia Parish, the largest workplaces include Iberia Parish Schools, First Solar, which makes photovoltaic cells, and the M.A. Patout Sugar Mill. Unemployment across the parish has eased compared with a year earlier, and the parish has added a few more jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Lake Peigneur is in or beside town, and Jungle Gardens, a botanical garden, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Palmetto Island State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site, a museum, is also a longer drive away.
