A study has ranked the most generous parishes in Louisiana.

SmartAsset, a web-based financial services company, dug into IRS data to find the places where residents were giving the most.

The study measured how much people donate as a percentage of their net income and the proportion of people in each parish who make charitable donations.

East Baton Rouge was the most generous parish, with 1.66% of total income going to charitable causes and 7.32% of tax returns listing donations to charity.

Here's a list of the top parishes in Louisiana:

  • East Baton Rouge.

  • Lincoln.

  • West Baton Rouge.

  • Caddo.

  • Orleans.

  • De Soto.

  • Ascension.

  • Ouachita.

  • St. Tammany.

  • Iberville.
