The estimated population within the Tangipahoa village, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is 748 persons. The Tangipahoa United Way is located in the largest city in Tangipahoa parish: Hammond, Louisiana. The United Way is an organization, established in 1887, that focuses on community-based projects which improve the quality of life and relationships of the people in an area.
