Opelousas itself is poor and decrepit due to the lack of tax base. It also suffers from poorly run local government. This will get worse in my opinion. However, it is far from the poorest town in Louisiana.
What is saving Opelousas are the middle class living outside of the city still spending money there at the remaining businesses.
Opelousas is nothing like it used to be.

My family was pretty well connected in Opelousas many years ago. All have passed or moved away.

Worse than Lake Providence?
There is some money in Lake Prov that offsets what most people correlate the town to. I still believe the town has the biggest wage gap in the country from top to bottom, and I find it hard to believe anywhere in this state has a lower bottom from a financial perspective.
