Dulac is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 1,241 people and two associated neighborhoods, Dulac is the 218th largest community in Louisiana.
Another notable thing is that Dulac is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Dulac’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Dulac is worth considering.
Dulac is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
One downside of living in Dulac, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.82 minutes every day commuting to work.
Dulac is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
Dulac ranks among the bottom of the nation in terms of college education compared to other cities and towns: only 3.21% of people over 25 have a college degree.
