Lyndon city, KY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lyndon city is a mid-size town in Kentucky, with 10,956 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #39 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 35.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Lyndon city earn a median of $65,392 a year, 16.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lyndon city is valued at $273,300, 9.9% below the national figure and 74% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,196 a month, 14.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,352 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 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. 43.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
