Dulac profile


Living in Dulac



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 an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Dulac has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Dulac has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Dulac than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Dulac may be for you.

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. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

One downside of living in Dulac, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.76 minutes every day commuting to work.

Being a small town, Dulac does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

Dulac ranks among the bottom of the nation in terms of college education compared to other cities and towns: only 1.50% of people over 25 have a college degree.

The per capita income in Dulac in 2022 was $17,216, which is low income relative to Louisiana and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $68,864 for a family of four. Dulac also has one of the higher rates of people living in poverty in the nation, with 50.12% of its population below the federal poverty line.
