What it’s like
The place. Deridder is a small city and the seat of Beauregard Parish, with a median age a little older than many American towns. Household incomes run below the parish's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and renting costs a fair amount compared with what a typical home is worth.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, other services and professional and business services also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in Deridder are Beauregard Parish Schools, Walmart and Beauregard Memorial Hospital. Unemployment in the parish has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly, and most people drive a short way to work.
Things to do. Fort Polk, an army fort, is a longer drive away, as is Toledo Bend Reservoir, a large reservoir popular for time on the water. South Toledo Bend State Park, a protected area on the reservoir's shore, is also a longer drive. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
