The Louisiana Almanac is a mesh of statistical data, historical information, and often obscure trivia relating to the State of Louisiana. Resources are provided in the following categories: general information, tourism, weather and climate, geography, population, sports, history, government, agriculture, economy, health, and transportation. Although often placed where relevant, maps, charts, and graphs are often printed poorly and can be difficult to interpret.
The 2006-2007 edition was divided into thirty-one chapters (excluding a foreword, index and list of acknowledgments) and totals 757 pages.
