Natchitoches housing is middle aged and mixed, with 19.5 percent built before 1960, 23.5 percent built in the 1970s, only 50.8 percent of units detached, and 7.4 percent manufactured homes in Census estimates, so a bathroom here may be a 1970s hall bath, an apartment bath, or a manufactured home bath with its own tub sizes. Natchitoches, founded by the French in 1714, is the seat of Natchitoches Parish and the oldest permanent European settlement in what is now Louisiana. Its downtown National Historic Landmark District, designated in 1984, covers 33 blocks along Cane River Lake and includes more than 200 historic structures. From our West Monroe office it is about 78 miles to the southwest measured directly, and that office schedules every Natchitoches estimate. The population is by far the youngest we serve, with a median age of 26.7 in Census estimates, and only 13.2 percent of residents are 65 or older, below the Louisiana share of 16.3 percent. The city is home to Northwestern State University. Owner occupancy is the lowest of any market on this site, so a large share of bathroom decisions here involve both a tenant and a property owner, and the owner has to approve any modification in writing. The housing itself is the least single family of our markets: detached houses are only 50.8 percent of units, two bedroom homes are 34.6 percent, the highest share we see, and manufactured homes are 7.4 percent, also the highest among our cities. For the households that do include an older adult, 25.1 percent of the total, the disability rate is close to the state's: 36.6 percent of residents 65 and older report a disability and 19.4 percent report an ambulatory difficulty. Many of those 1970s bathrooms still have their original tub and shower setup, and replacing it with a walk in shower usually fits the existing space. In a manufactured home, the floor structure and tub dimensions can differ from a site built house, so we check both at the free estimate before recommending a unit. Veterans are 5.2 percent of civilian adults, and the Natchitoches VA Clinic, part of the Alexandria VA health care system, is where a local veteran's care team can write the prescription a HISA grant application starts with. Louisiana residents on long term care Medicaid can ask about the Community Choices Waiver.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Natchitoches was built around 1979, which makes the typical house about 47 years old. There are roughly 8,170 housing units here with a median value near $188,400. Most of Natchitoches went up in the postwar decades. The framing on these homes is usually sound, but original supply lines, drains, wiring, and subfloors are old enough to be worth checking while the shower to tub conversion work already has the room open. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Values in Natchitoches sit toward the lower end of the markets we serve, so the question is usually which option returns the most service life per dollar, and we will show you the point where spending more stops paying for itself. That local mix shapes how we scope and schedule shower to tub conversion work here. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
