Maysville city, KY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Maysville city is a mid-size town in Kentucky, with 8,778 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #52 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 42.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Maysville city earn a median of $41,923 a year, 46.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 23.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Maysville city is valued at $152,100, 49.9% below the national figure and 3% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $700 a month, 50.2% below the national figure, or roughly $8,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.3% 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.

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.
