What it’s like
The place. Haughton is a small town in Bossier Parish, Louisiana, where most homes are lived in by their owners and renters are the smaller group. Typical home values sit well above what many people expect from a town this size, and typical rents are high as well. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across much of the country, and a noticeable part of the town lives below the poverty line. Winters are mild and almost never snowy, summers are hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Across Bossier Parish, some of the largest workplaces are Bossier Parish Schools, Willis-Knighton Bossier Health Center and Metro Aviation. The usual commute is a fairly long one, and some people work from home. Unemployment in the parish is a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Lake Bistineau State Park is a protected area a short drive away, a natural place to spend a day outdoors. Farther afield, the Eighth Air Force Museum and the Meadows Museum of Art are both museums reached by a longer drive. The Gardens of the American Rose Center, a botanical garden, is another longer trip for a quiet afternoon.
