Muldraugh city, KY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Muldraugh city is a small town in Kentucky, with 1,164 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #227 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 37.7 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 Muldraugh city earn a median of $47,059 a year, 40.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below 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 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Muldraugh city is valued at $77,300, 74.5% below the national figure and 51% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $909 a month, 35.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.2% 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 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 46.8% 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.
