Norwood, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Norwood city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 395 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #386 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 42.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Norwood city earn a median of $106,667 a year, 35.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 92% 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Norwood city is valued at $347,400, 14.5% above the national figure and 121% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,798 a month, 27.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.9% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
