St. Bernard 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 2,329 people and two associated neighborhoods, St. Bernard is the 160th largest community in Louisiana. Much of the housing stock in St. Bernard was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local St. Bernard economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in St. Bernard, where the median household income is $60,319.00.

Also of interest is that St. Bernard has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.02% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

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, St. Bernard is worth considering.

St. Bernard 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. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

One downside of living in St. Bernard is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In St. Bernard, the average commute to work is 35.15 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

The per capita income in St. Bernard in 2022 was $31,903, which is upper middle income relative to Louisiana, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $127,612 for a family of four. However, St. Bernard contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
