Jonathan Cook best-worst Jun 23, 2025

Just moved here 15 months ago and Crime rate is something to consider -Laplace sits at 518.9 per 100K. Poverty rate is 8.7%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $68,028, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $188,900 on average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
