Uniontown city, KY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Uniontown city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 809 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #267 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 41.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Uniontown city earn a median of $49,375 a year, 37.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Uniontown city is valued at $62,300, 79.5% below the national figure and 60% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $775 a month, 44.9% below the national figure, or roughly $9,300 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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 1.3×, 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. 76.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
