What it’s like
The place. Maurice is a small village in Vermilion Parish, and nearly everyone who lives there owns the home they live in, a far higher share of owners than most places. Household incomes across the parish run below what is typical for the country, and typical home values are moderate. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with a good deal of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, professional and business services, and farming. Across Vermilion Parish, the largest workplaces include Vermilion Parish Schools, Abbeville General Hospital and Acadian Contractors. Unemployment in the parish is lower than it was a year earlier, and the parish has added jobs over the past year. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. A short drive away, Cajun Field at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium is a stadium for sports events, and the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum is a museum for art. Cypress Lake, also a short drive away, is a lake for time outdoors. For a longer outing, Palmetto Island State Park is a protected area 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 Maurice’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 Vermilion Parish and the Lafayette, LA metro.
