What it’s like
The place. Madisonville is a very small town with an older population and a settled feel. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, far more than in many places, and few residents live below the poverty line. Most adults hold a four-year degree, and typical home values run high. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot and wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in town are Procivil, a road and bridge construction firm, and CM Combs Construction, a commercial building contractor. Commutes run on the long side, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. The Tchefuncte River runs in or beside town, and Fairview-Riverside State Park, a protected area, is just as close. A short drive away is Fontainebleau State Park, another protected area, along with rivers such as the Bogue Falaya. Lake Pontchartrain and the New Orleans Museum of Art are a longer drive away.
