What it’s like
The place. Killian is a small town in Livingston Parish where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners. Residents tend to be older than in much of the country, and typical home values sit well within reach of what many families in the parish can manage. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Livingston Parish, the largest workplaces include Livingston Parish Schools, Ferrara Fire Apparatus and Walmart. Commutes are long compared with most places, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. Water is the main draw nearby. The Amite River, Lake Maurepas and the Tickfaw River are all a short drive away, as is Tickfaw State Park, a protected area suited to a day outdoors. For something different, the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts is a longer drive away.

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