Cost of living in Coushatta, Louisiana

A typical home is worth about $96,100.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Red River Parish is $929 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Coushatta. 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.

In July 2026, a typical Louisiana home paid 12.72¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Coushatta's bill.

EIA does not publish a Louisiana gasoline price. For the week of October 12, 2026, the Gulf Coast (PADD 3) all-grades price was $3.954 a gallon.
