Kenner, United States
Kenner, the largest incorporated suburb of New Orleans, is a North American Regional Market with one District-tier and one Local-tier co-location cluster. The city sits between Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport lies within its limits, giving it an unusual mix of airport-driven commerce and suburban retail.
Overview
According to Wikipedia (accessed 2026-07-10), Kenner recorded a population of 66,448 at the 2020 census across 15.11 square miles, making it the sixth-most populous city in Louisiana. The city sits in Jefferson Parish on the west side of Greater New Orleans. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, located within city limits just south of Interstate 10, serves as a major economic driver. The Pontchartrain Center, a convention facility opened in 1991, and retail destinations including The Esplanade Mall and Treasure Chest Casino anchor local commerce. Substantial growth began with swampland development in the late 1950s, accelerated by Interstate 10 construction through the 1960s. The city's racial composition has shifted markedly: by the 2020 census, Kenner was 40.01 percent non-Hispanic white, 30.01 percent Hispanic or Latino, and 21.48 percent Black or African American. A section of north Kenner known as "Little Honduras" reflects significant Hispanic business development.
