Hurstbourne city, KY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hurstbourne city is a small town in Kentucky, with 4,669 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #92 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Hurstbourne city earn a median of $113,906 a year, 45% above the national figure of $78,538 and 105% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. 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 4.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hurstbourne city is valued at $495,100, 63.2% above the national figure and 215% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,676 a month, 19.2% above the national figure, or roughly $20,112 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 53.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
