What it’s like
The place. Port Vincent is a village, among the smallest places in Livingston Parish, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Home values here sit well below what many Americans pay, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and short, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Livingston Parish, the largest workplaces include Livingston Parish Schools, Ferrara Fire Apparatus and Walmart. The usual trip to work is a long one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Bayou Manchac, a river, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Tickfaw State Park is a protected area for time outdoors, and the USS Kidd is a museum. All of these are a longer drive from town.

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