Boston, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Boston CDP is a very small community in Kentucky, with 154 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #490 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 40.4 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 Boston CDP earn a median of $60,486 a year, 23% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Boston CDP is valued at $180,400, 40.5% below the national figure and 15% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 75.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

With 154 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Boston CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Boston CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
