What it’s like
The place. Epps is a small village in West Carroll Parish, Louisiana, with a population among the smallest of the places on this site. Household incomes here run a little above the parish's, and homes are valued modestly in Zillow's estimate. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and short, with January the coldest month and snow a rare event, while August brings hot days and the year as a whole is a wet one.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with building trades, shops, and farming, forestry and mining also employing many. Across West Carroll Parish, the largest workplaces include West Carroll Parish Schools, Walmart and West Carroll Health Systems. Unemployment in the parish is lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs there has edged up slightly.
Things to do. Poverty Point, an archaeological site, is a short drive away, as is Poverty Point Reservoir State Park, a protected area good for time outdoors. High Delta Safari Park, a zoo, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a longer drive off.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Epps’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 West Carroll Parish.
