- Population

- Population rank
- 67 of 427
- Rank by Natural Earth population among the 427 cities of United States of America in Terratlasia that have a population figure. Terratlasia does not list every city of United States of America, so this is not a national ranking.
- State
- Louisiana State
- Natural Earth marks this city as the capital of a first-level administrative unit; the state is the one whose boundary contains the city.
- Founded
- 1718
- Year of founding from Wikidata (P571). Only the year is known, not the day; a city whose sources give more than one year shows no row.
- Area
