Columbia is a tiny town located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 272 people and two associated neighborhoods, Columbia is the 307th largest community in Louisiana.

Also of interest is that Columbia has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.81% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

As is often the case in a small town, Columbia doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The percentage of people in Columbia with college degrees is quite a bit lower than the national average for cities and towns of 21.84%: just 12.28% of people over 25 have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Columbia in 2022 was $26,097, which is middle income relative to Louisiana, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $104,388 for a family of four. However, Columbia contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
