What it’s like
The place. Delhi is a small town in Madison Parish, in the Louisiana Delta country. The people who live here are somewhat older than in many places, and household incomes are well above the parish's, though a good share of residents still live below the poverty line. Homes are owned and rented in about equal measure, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild, with little snow, summers get very hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Delhi are the critical access hospital, Richland Parish Hospital, along with Deerfield Nursing & Rehabilitation Center and Brookshire's. Unemployment across Madison Parish has eased from a year earlier, though the parish had fewer jobs last year than the year before, and almost no one works from home.
Things to do. Poverty Point Reservoir State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town, as does Marsden Mounds, an archaeological site. A short drive away are High Delta Safari Park, a zoo, and the Raffman Site, another archaeological site. Poverty Point itself, one of the best known earthwork sites in the region, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Delhi’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Madison Parish.
