According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the town has a population of approximately 3,000, with a predominantly white population and a close-knit community. The climate is humid subtropical, with hot, humid summers and mild winters.
The economy is based on agriculture and small retail businesses, with some residents commuting to Baton Rouge for work. The town has basic public amenities, including Holden Elementary School and a community park, and a relaxed pace of life. Outdoor recreational activities such as fishing and hiking are common due to the proximity of the Amite River and several state forest parks.
Connections to neighboring cities are primarily on Interstate 12 (I-12). Some Southern traditions remain, and annual community festivals reflect Louisiana's distinctive Cajun cultural influences.
