Bayou Grace’s target population consists of 13,500 residents living in the zip codes 70344, 70377, 70353 and 70397, the most rural, coastal sections of Terrebonne Parish populated by our fisher families and the Native American, African American and Cajun/French populations who have historically relied on the waters and a healthy coast to make a living. Much of the population lives at or below the poverty line. Historically, the rural communities have lagged in educational attainment.
