Willisburg, KY population, income and ZIP codes

Willisburg city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 359 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #400 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 27% of them. The median age here is 35.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Willisburg city earn a median of $56,042 a year, 28.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 40.7% 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 Willisburg city is valued at $150,000, 50.6% below the national figure and 5% below the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $883 a month, 37.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
