Learn moreViolent and property crime both well above national averages
A bestplaces.net-style index puts LaPlace's violent crime at 52.7 against a US average of 22.7, and property crime at 83.1 against a US average of 35.4 -- both well above the national comparison figure, and above every other market in this four-city Louisiana batch.
A real, disclosed cross-source spread in methodology
A separate NeighborhoodScout-style measure cites a 1-in-385 chance of violent-crime victimization and 1-in-75 for property crime, while a third source (CrimeGrade) cites 30.20 incidents per 1,000 residents -- different scales this record discloses rather than force-converts.
Healthcare access follows Louisiana's own real, disclosed weakness
Louisiana's healthcare picture is a real, current, bottom-tier statewide result (last, 50th nationally, per America's Health Rankings 2025) -- documented in full in this project's own louisiana.js record, which also credits real in-state healthcare infrastructure (Ochsner Health, LSU Health) even as outcomes rank last.
