Blue Ridge Manor, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Blue Ridge Manor city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 718 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #292 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 43 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Blue Ridge Manor city earn a median of $68,281 a year, 13.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blue Ridge Manor city is valued at $207,500, 31.6% below the national figure and 32% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,803 a month, 28.2% above the national figure, or roughly $21,636 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Blue Ridge Manor city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 31.7% of median income while homes cost only 3× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 718 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Blue Ridge Manor city against its county rather than against national figures.
