The area
Richland Parish is rural northeast Louisiana, with a population under 20,000. Delhi and Rayville are small towns. Monroe, in Ouachita Parish, has the region's larger set of housing, healthcare and shopping.
Roads and services
Meta announced $1 billion in upgrades to roads, water and wastewater in the parish. Construction traffic is a common local complaint, so plan extra commute time at shift change.
Costs
Living costs were low before the project: median home value $141,900 and median gross rent of roughly $836 to $907, against a median household income of about $53,500. Expect workers' demand to push prices above these baselines near the site.
Schools and healthcare
One directory counts three public high schools with about 774 students and three public middle schools with about 452 students in the parish. We found no school ratings and could not confirm hospital or clinic details for Rayville or Delhi, so we are not listing any. Larger hospitals and specialists are in Monroe.
