Jeff Davis Parish is a quality community of 31,435 residents encompassing 658 square miles of mostly rural acreage along Interstate 10 approximately 30 miles east of Lake Charles and 35 miles west of Lafayette. The parish has an agricultural based economy with employment concentrated in two secondary sectors of the economy, retail and services. However, with major developments underway in the Lacassine Industrial Park and throughout the parish substantial economic growth is imminent.
