Sebree city, KY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Sebree city is a small town in Kentucky, with 2,071 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #167 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 25.2 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 Sebree city earn a median of $62,222 a year, 20.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above 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 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Sebree city is valued at $99,500, 67.2% below the national figure and 37% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $780 a month, 44.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,360 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15% 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 1.6×, 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. 60.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
A median age of 25.2 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.
