    East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana is a rural parish located in the southern part of the state. The geography is characterized by gently rolling hills and a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. The population is around 19,000, with a majority-minority demographic makeup and a median age slightly higher than the national average. The economy is largely agricultural, with some manufacturing and service sector jobs, though the job market can be limited. The cost of living is relatively low, with affordable housing options, but healthcare and education resources may be more limited compared to urban areas. The K-12 school system has mixed performance, and there are no major higher education institutions within the parish. Cultural attractions are focused on the region's history and natural amenities, which include several state parks and wildlife management areas offering outdoor recreation. The transportation infrastructure is adequate, with access to major highways, but public transit options are minimal. Crime rates are generally lower than state and national averages, contributing to a safe, tight-knit community vibe, though some residents may find the pace of life and isolation from larger cities to be drawbacks.
