Dulac is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 1,241 people and two associated neighborhoods, Dulac is the 218th largest community in Louisiana. Much of the housing stock in Dulac was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Dulac economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Dulac, where the median household income is $38,750.00.

Another notable thing is that Dulac is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Dulac’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Dulac is worth considering.

One of the nice things about Dulac is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

Being a small town, Dulac does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

Dulac ranks among the bottom of the nation in terms of college education compared to other cities and towns: only 4.43% of people over 25 have a college degree.

The per capita income in Dulac in 2022 was $34,353, which is upper middle income relative to Louisiana, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $137,412 for a family of four. However, Dulac contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Dulac is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Dulac home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups.
