What it’s like
The place. Deville is a small community in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, with a population that is modest even by parish standards. Homes here are valued below what is typical for much of the country, and the parish's household incomes sit below the national picture as well. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month, while summers run hot, with August the warmest. Rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in professional and business services. Across Rapides Parish, the largest workplaces include Rapides Parish Schools, Rapides Regional Medical Center and the Veterans Health Administration. Unemployment in the parish is a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. The closest outdoor stop is Dewey W. Wills Wildlife Management Area, a protected area a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Kisatchie National Forest, a large protected forest, and to Catahoula Lake, a lake popular for time on the water. For something indoors, the Alexandria Museum of Art is also 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 Deville’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 Rapides Parish and the Alexandria, LA metro.
