Is Bossier City, LA a good place to live?
Bossier City and Shreveport on opposite banks of the Red River. They have many similarities, and together they form the Shreveport-Bossier City Metro Area.
However, that doesn’t mean they’re identical! Bossier City’s economy has been picking up a little faster than Shreveport’s, and real estate values tend to be a little higher here as well. Bossier City earns higher scores than Shreveport for health and fitness, and while the two cities have an identical Walk Score from WalkScore.com, Bossier City edges out Shreveport for bikeability by two points.
Still deciding between the two? Bossier City is the better choice if you want:
- A smaller city
- Lower unemployment
- A higher median income (Bossier City’s median income is $47,103 while Shreveport’s is $38,413)
