Ezel, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Ezel CDP is a very small community in Kentucky, with 327 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #409 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 55.1 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 Ezel CDP earn a median of $38,000 a year, 51.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% below 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 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ezel CDP is valued at $99,800, 67.1% below the national figure and 37% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 55.1 puts Ezel CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 327 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Ezel CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Ezel 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.
