Kuttawa city, KY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kuttawa city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 594 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #328 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 65.4 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 Kuttawa city earn a median of $63,750 a year, 18.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kuttawa city is valued at $268,900, 11.4% below the national figure and 71% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 82.8% 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. 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.

A median age of 65.4 puts Kuttawa city 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 594 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Kuttawa city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Kuttawa city 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.
