With a population of 1,241 people and two associated neighborhoods, Dulac is the 218th largest community in Louisiana. There's nothing like the smell of a brand new house, and in Dulac, you'll find that a large proportion of houses were recently built.

Another notable thing is that Dulac is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Dulac has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Dulac a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

Dulac is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

As is often the case in a small town, Dulac doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The population of Dulac has one of the lowest overall levels of education in the country: only 4.43% of people over 25 hold a college degree. The national average for all municipalities is 21.84%.
