Silver Grove, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Silver Grove city is a small town in Kentucky, with 1,104 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #234 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 47.7 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 Silver Grove city earn a median of $46,315 a year, 41% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below 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 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silver Grove city is valued at $103,400, 65.9% below the national figure and 34% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $675 a month, 52% below the national figure, or roughly $8,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% 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 2.2×, 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. 56.2% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
