Same ranking, other places

Methodology. We ranked 109 towns of 500–10,000 people in Louisiana (2020 Census population). Lifestyle measures are The Town Files lifestyle rankings, built from federal demographic, school, crime and housing data (2025), shown as percentiles. Only towns better than 60% of their peers on this measure qualify, so lists can be shorter than 25. Sources:
