Average rent in Louisiana
The median asking rent in Louisiana is $1,700 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.
Against an average home value of $211,929, that rent level prices Louisiana at a 10.03% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Louisiana markets.
