What these numbers say together

Bayou Blue, LA (ZIP 70364) sits in Terrebonne Parish within the Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27.

NCES lists 8 schools serving the area, 8 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,184. 23% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs.

Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.

One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 28.9%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
