Pleasureville, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Pleasureville city is a small town in Kentucky, with 1,286 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #215 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 28.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Pleasureville city earn a median of $49,612 a year, 36.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 17.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pleasureville city is valued at $142,400, 53.1% below the national figure and 9% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,543 a month, 9.7% above the national figure, or roughly $18,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 37.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 45.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Pleasureville city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 37.3% of median income while homes cost only 2.9× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. A median age of 28.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
