Poplar Hills, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Poplar Hills city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 623 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #317 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 37.3 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 Poplar Hills city earn a median of $23,958 a year, 69.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 57% below 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 38.8% 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 Poplar Hills city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $705 a month, 49.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,460 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 35.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld home value for Poplar Hills city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
