Rockholds, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Rockholds CDP is a very small community in Kentucky, with 192 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #472 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 14% of them. The median age here is 46.7 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 Rockholds CDP earn a median of $28,158 a year, 64.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 49% 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 37% 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 Rockholds CDP is valued at $55,900, 81.6% below the national figure and 64% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 48.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 192 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Rockholds CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Rockholds CDP 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.
