Alexandria, LA is covered by 3 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 58,923 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates. U.S. cities rarely map cleanly to a single ZIP — Alexandria splits its residents across 3 delivery areas, each with its own demographic and housing profile. The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Alexandria, the median household income averages $48,308 and per-capita income averages $28,980. Poverty rate runs at 26.2% and unemployment at 6.2%. On housing, the average median home value is $171,667 with median rent of $973 per month, and 53.5% of occupied units are owner-occupied.
