Louisiana adopts IRC zoning for tiny homes as primary residences, supported by low average rent and vibrant cities.

The state's affordable average rent ($500/mo), vibrant culture, year-round festivals, and natural scenery support quality of life. Tiny home-friendly cities like New Orleans, Alexandria, Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Shreveport contribute to the movement's growth, with projects like Burleigh Plantation and Santosha Village promoting affordable living.
