Richlawn, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Richlawn city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 331 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #408 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 38.8 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 Richlawn city earn a median of $121,875 a year, 55.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 120% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Richlawn city is valued at $398,200, 31.2% above the national figure and 153% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,889 a month, 34.4% above the national figure, or roughly $22,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 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. 87.6% 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.
