Worthington Hills city, KY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Worthington Hills city is a small town in Kentucky, with 1,872 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #183 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 27.2 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 Worthington Hills city earn a median of $78,365 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Worthington Hills city is valued at $215,400, 29% below the national figure and 37% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,600 a month, 13.8% above the national figure, or roughly $19,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.8% 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.
A median age of 27.2 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.
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.
