Crestwood, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Crestwood city is a mid-size town in Kentucky, with 6,275 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #75 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 39 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Crestwood city earn a median of $101,086 a year, 28.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 82% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crestwood city is valued at $315,100, 3.9% above the national figure and 100% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,100 a month, 21.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.9% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
