Hickory, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Hickory CDP is a very small community in Kentucky, with 53 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #541 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 2% of them. The median age here is 21.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Hickory CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 Hickory CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. 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 21.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 53 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Hickory CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Hickory 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.
