Barbourmeade, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Barbourmeade city is a small town in Kentucky, with 1,208 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #224 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 45.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Barbourmeade city earn a median of $109,800 a year, 39.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 98% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Barbourmeade city is valued at $360,700, 18.9% above the national figure and 129% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,711 a month, 92.8% above the national figure, or roughly $32,532 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
