Shreveport’s 2020 population of 187,593 is almost entirely inside neighboring Caddo Parish;
\nonly a small annexed edge of the city crosses the Red River into Bossier Parish, so no separate
\nBossier-side population figure exists for it. Red Chute and Eastwood are both frequently confused
\nwith Haughton on maps — all three sit along the US 80\/79 corridor east of Bossier City, and
\nRed Chute in particular surrounds Haughton on three sides without sharing its town limits.<\/p>\n
