Amelia, Louisiana has about 1,712 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.
A typical home is worth about $87,500.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in St. Mary Parish is $997 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Amelia. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
Louisiana's prices sit at 88.2 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.
Louisiana taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 10.1% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Amelia's exact store tax.
In July 2026, a typical Louisiana home paid 12.72¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Amelia's bill.
