We could not match this place to a county, so there is no HUD rent on this page.

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 Vidalia'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 Vidalia'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.
