Vine Grove, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Vine Grove city is a mid-size town in Kentucky, with 6,721 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #68 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 36.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Vine Grove city earn a median of $74,786 a year, 4.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% above 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 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vine Grove city is valued at $213,500, 29.6% below the national figure and 36% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,344 a month, 4.4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,128 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
