What it’s like
The place. Galliano is a community on Bayou Lafourche in Lafourche Parish, home to a population with a somewhat older age profile. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Household incomes run below the parish's, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is typical, while few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and summers hot, with little or no snow and a good deal of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in farming, forestry and mining, and in the building trades. Across Lafourche Parish, the largest workplaces include Lafourche Parish Schools, Thibodaux Regional Health System and Nicholls State University. Unemployment in the parish has eased a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has edged up. Commutes are fairly long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area, a protected area, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Bayou Lafourche, a river, and to Grand Isle State Park, another protected area. Fort Livingston, an old fort, is also a longer drive from town.

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