Greensburg city, KY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Greensburg city is a small town in Kentucky, with 2,218 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #159 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 38.9 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 Greensburg city earn a median of $37,321 a year, 52.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% 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 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Greensburg city is valued at $117,700, 61.2% below the national figure and 25% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $578 a month, 58.9% below the national figure, or roughly $6,936 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
