What it’s like
The place. Pierre Part is a small community in St. Martin Parish where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, a far higher share than is usual. Incomes in the parish run below the typical American level, and a good many residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and most people work in the building trades, manufacturing, schools, hospitals and social care, or professional and business services. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, summers are hot, and the year brings a great deal of rain.
Work. Many residents commute a long way to their jobs, longer than is typical, and only a few work from home. Across St. Martin Parish, the largest workplaces include St. Martin Parish Schools, LAD Services of Louisiana, a barge builder, and Walmart. The parish has about the same number of jobs as a year ago, and unemployment has eased a little over the past year.
Things to do. Lake Verret and the Elm Hall Wildlife Management Area are both a short drive away, for time on the water or in protected woodland and wetland. Bayou Teche, a river, is a longer drive, as is the Louisiana State Museum in Patterson.

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 St. Martin Parish and the Lafayette, LA metro.
