[constituency_baseline] District summary: Louisiana's 6th Congressional District was created in 2024 as a new majority-Black district running roughly 250 miles from Baton Rouge northwest along the Red River and Mississippi River corridors to Shreveport. It encompasses parts of East Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee, Avoyelles, Rapides, Natchitoches, and Caddo parishes. With a population of 757,854, it is 53.2% Black, 37% White, and a majority-minority district. The Cook PVI is D+15. Median household income is $48,696 — well below the national median — with a 19.7% poverty rate and 8.8% unemployment. Only 22.7% hold a bachelor's degree, and 58.8% of residents are homeowners. The district faces deep structural challenges: high healthcare costs, housing shortages, pollution from industrial plants, and long commutes. Major economic drivers include healthcare, government, manufacturing, and agriculture. The district was drawn after a federal court ordered Louisiana to create a second majority-Black district, and its legality was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.
