This rural central Louisiana parish of roughly 14,000 residents recorded an R+82.7 presidential margin in 2024, placing it among the most one-sided counties in the state and reflecting the deep partisan uniformity common to sparsely populated piney-woods communities.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in LaSalle Parish peaked at ninety-two points in 1916; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1964 election delivered the county to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of sixty-seven points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.
The economic and demographic context is severe. The median household income of $68,497 is among the lowest at this geographic scale; 16% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Towns County and Union County.
