Retirement Tax Treatment
Louisiana does not tax Social Security benefits, which gives retirees a meaningful break, though other income remains subject to state income tax.

Fact text
- Metairie is technically not a city at all, it's unincorporated, yet it would rank as Louisiana's fourth-largest city if it ever decided to make it official.
- The name 'Metairie' comes from a French word for a small tenant farm where rent was paid in crops instead of cash.
- The oldest road in the entire New Orleans area was originally a Native American trail running along a natural ridge formed by an ancient Mississippi River branch.
- Both the New Orleans Saints and the New Orleans Pelicans call Metairie home for their training facilities, meaning NFL and NBA players are basically your neighbors.
- A 1970s nightlife district in Metairie was boldly named 'Fat City', a nickname that somehow made it onto official maps.
