Bromley city, KY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bromley city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 812 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #265 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 34.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Bromley city earn a median of $57,083 a year, 27.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bromley city is valued at $139,700, 54% below the national figure and 11% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,094 a month, 22.2% below the national figure, or roughly $13,128 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 74.8% 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.
