About Louisiana ZIP codes
Louisiana is served by 487 ZIP codes that span all 64 parishes and 371 cities, ranging from 70001 in the New Orleans metro area to 71497 in the historic Natchitoches region. The state's ZIP codes are organized under 13 three-digit prefixes, with southern Louisiana anchored by the 700–708 series and northern Louisiana covered by 710–714. Orleans Parish leads with 33 ZIP codes, reflecting the vibrant density of New Orleans, while East Baton Rouge and Caddo parishes follow closely behind. Whether you're navigating the bayous of Acadiana or the piney hills of the north, Louisiana's ZIP code system provides structured geographic coverage across one of America's most culturally rich states.
Louisiana ZIP codes begin with prefixes ranging from 700 to 714, covering the state from south to north. The 700–708 prefixes generally serve the southern half of the state, including the Greater New Orleans and Baton Rouge metropolitan areas, while the 710–714 prefixes cover northern Louisiana, including Shreveport, Monroe, and Alexandria. This geographic distribution reflects the USPS sectional center facility routing, with major mail processing hubs in New Orleans and Shreveport.
Orleans Parish leads Louisiana with 33 ZIP codes, which reflects its role as the state's most historically significant urban center and the dense, diverse neighborhoods that make up the city of New Orleans.
Quick facts
- Louisiana is one of the few states that uses parishes instead of counties, yet the USPS still assigns ZIP codes in the same manner — Orleans Parish's 33 ZIP codes make it the most subdivided parish in the state.
- The lowest Louisiana ZIP code, 70001, belongs to Metairie in Jefferson Parish, while the highest, 71497, is assigned to Natchitoches in the northwestern part of the state — the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase territory.
- When ZIP codes were first introduced in 1963, New Orleans was one of the early major cities to adopt the system, building upon the postal zone numbering system it had used since the 1940s.
