What it’s like
The place. Saint Amant is a town in Ascension Parish, in southeastern Louisiana. Across the parish, most homes are lived in by their owners, more than in most of the country. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot. Rain falls often, and the area is much wetter than most of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, retail and the building trades. Unemployment is lower than a year earlier, though the number of jobs eased slightly last year. Most people drive to work, and few work from home.
Things to do. Tiger Stadium is a stadium a longer drive away, and the Whitney Plantation Historic District is a museum on plantation history, also a longer drive away. New River, a river a short drive away, is the closest of the places nearby worth a visit.

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