What it’s like
The place. Jarreau sits in Pointe Coupee Parish, in the Louisiana countryside, where many homes are lived in by the families who own them, more so than across the country. The typical home value across the parish is modest by national standards. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with little or no snow, and the parish gets a great deal of rain through the year.
Work. Across Pointe Coupee Parish, many people work in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Fewer adults hold a degree than across the country, and fewer people work from home. Unemployment is lower than a year earlier, though the parish had fewer jobs in the most recent year than the year before.
Things to do. Tiger Stadium, a stadium in Baton Rouge and one of the best known venues in the area, is a longer drive away. USS Kidd is a museum a longer drive away, and Port Hudson State Historic Site, an archaeological site, is a short drive away.

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