Avery Island isn't a typical Louisiana ZIP code. Of the 74 total housing units, 28 sit vacant and only 46 are occupied. That's a 37.8% vacancy rate, unusual for a place that's technically part of Iberia Parish. The 134 residents live on 2.7 square miles split between land and water, accessible only by Main Road.
The post office maintains 86 PO Boxes for 46 households. That's a 1.87 adoption rate, meaning it serves beyond the island itself. Five businesses operate here, employing 339 workers according to Census Bureau records. Those employees don't live on the island. They commute to work at what's likely Avery Island's famous tourist attraction, then collect mail at surrounding post offices. The island's delivery pattern is classified as "Highway" with one highway contract route and 18 PO Box delivery records.
The median age of 42.7 years sits close to Louisiana's overall median. Most residents are white (110 of 134), with small Hispanic (12) and multiracial (12) populations. Census income data comes back as unavailable, typical for such small populations where disclosure rules protect privacy. Home values aren't published either. What's clear is that this isn't a retirement enclave or second-home resort in the traditional sense. It's a working island where a handful of households live year-round alongside a major employer.
Main Road is the only named street, reflecting Avery Island's geography as a private island with controlled access. The single road connects all residential and commercial locations.
ZIP Code 70513 has 134 residents and 46 households (average 2.91 persons per household). The median age is 42.7 years, older than the state (38.1) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 46.3% male and 53.7% female, which is slightly lower than the national male share (49.1%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (82.1%, much higher than the state average of 57.1% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (6.7%, much lower than the state average of 31.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 6.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
