Raising a family in Plaquemine -thoughts?
First post here. I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 5.1%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $860 for rent here. With a population of 6,136, Plaquemine is a small town. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
- Homelessness issues downtown

Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
