What it’s like
The place. Jackson is a small town in East Feliciana Parish, with a population that skews a little older than the typical American community. Household incomes here run well below the parish's as a whole, and a four-year degree is held by only a small share of adults. Winters are mild and short, while summers are long and hot, with August the warmest month.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, the building trades and government. Across East Feliciana Parish, some of the largest workplaces are East LA State Mental Health System, East Feliciana Parish Schools and Grace Nursing Home. Unemployment in the parish has eased over the past year, and there are somewhat more jobs than there were the year before.
Things to do. Audubon State Historic Site and Locust Grove State Historic Site are both a short drive away, and Comite Creek is close by as well. For a day out, the Baton Rouge Zoo is a longer drive, as is Tiger Stadium.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Jackson’s 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 East Feliciana Parish and the Baton Rouge, LA metro.
