Pleasant Ridge, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Pleasant Ridge CDP is a very small community in Kentucky, with 729 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #290 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 47.8 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 Pleasant Ridge CDP earn a median of $41,615 a year, 47% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below 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 21% 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 Pleasant Ridge CDP is valued at $104,500, 65.6% below the national figure and 34% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $996 a month, 29.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,952 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.7% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.9% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
