What it’s like
The place. Norwood is a small village in East Feliciana Parish, home to a very small number of people, where most neighbors are likely to know one another. Incomes in the village run well below those across the parish, and the typical home is valued at a good deal more than a year of a household's income. Winters are mild and almost never bring snow, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with August the warmest. Rain falls in good measure through the year.
Work. Residents of Norwood work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, the building trades and government also employing many. Very few work from home. Across East Feliciana Parish, the largest workplaces include East LA State Mental Health System, East Feliciana Parish Schools and Grace Nursing Home. Unemployment across the parish is lower than it was a year ago, and the parish has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Comite Creek, a river, is a short drive away and is the closest spot for time by the water. A longer drive brings you to Locust Grove State Historic Site, a protected area with historic grounds to walk. Also a longer drive away is the Baton Rouge Zoo, a day out for visitors of any age.

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