Shenandoah is a somewhat small town located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 17,115 people and just one neighborhood, Shenandoah is the 30th largest community in Louisiana.
Shenandoah is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 87.13% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Shenandoah is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Shenandoah who work in sales jobs (15.90%), management occupations (14.15%), and office and administrative support jobs (13.87%).
Also of interest is that Shenandoah has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
In addition, Shenandoah is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates." Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. "Urban sophisticates" is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call 'urbaneness.' But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.
Shenandoah is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Shenandoah's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
For most residents of Shenandoah, getting to work requires a car. In fact, 99.1% of people in Shenandoah drive alone to work on most days, making Shenandoah a very car-oriented town. In general, car-oriented communities tend to emphasize streets, highways, and ease of parking, often to the detriment of walkability. Strip centers are a feature of Shenandoah's landscape.
As is often the case in a small town, Shenandoah doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
If knowledge is power, Shenandoah is a pretty powerful place. 47.15% of the adults in Shenandoah have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 14.96% for all cities and towns.
The per capita income in Shenandoah in 2000 was $29,722, which is wealthy relative to Louisiana and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $118,888 for a family of four. However, Shenandoah contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
