What it’s like

The place. Natalbany is a small community in Tangipahoa Parish, in southeastern Louisiana. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and cool but not harsh days and nights, while summers are hot, with August the warmest. Rain and the occasional melted snow add up to a good deal over the year, more than in many parts of the country.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Tangipahoa Parish, some of the largest workplaces are Tangipahoa Parish Schools, North Oaks Medical Center and Southeastern Louisiana University. Household incomes across the parish are modest, and unemployment there has eased a little compared with a year ago.

Things to do. Strawberry Stadium is in or beside town, and the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts, a theatre, and the Tangipahoa African American Heritage Museum are each a short drive away. For time outdoors, Tickfaw State Park, a protected area, and Lake Maurepas are 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 Natalbany’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 Tangipahoa Parish and the Hammond, LA metro.
