Food Truck Costs in Louisiana

Louisiana has 30 registered food trucks across 539 ZIP codes, serving a population of 4.6 Million. Median household income averages $49,630 — 25,370 below the national median.

Mixed picture. The 45/100 state average covers a wide spread: a few standout ZIP codes, a lot of middling ones. Competition runs about 0.1 businesses per ZIP. Location selection matters more here than in higher-scoring states.

Permit and licensing fees in Louisiana average $3,795 per year across the cities we track. These are annual totals covering business license, health permit, and mobile vendor fees, pulled from municipal fee schedules — not estimates.
