Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Louisville, KY. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Louisville compares. Among the 80 largest places in Kentucky, Louisville is #1 by population, #21 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #24 for remote work (#1 = most), #29 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Jefferson County, is #5 of 120 counties for average pay ($71,280).
Louisville has 631,818 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 13.9% of the population of Kentucky. It covers 263 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,402 people per square mile. The median age is 37.7, 4% younger than the state median (37.7 against 39.1).
The median gross rent is $1,120 a month (rent plus utilities), 16% above the state median ($1,120 against $967). Over a year that is 20.1% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $233,900, which is 3.5 times the median household income ($66,849); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 60.7% of households own their home, 11% below the state average (60.7% against 68.3%).
The Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN metropolitan area has 685,190 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $48,370 a year, 5% below the national median ($48,370 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are transportation and material moving (90,400 jobs, median $46,830); office and administrative support (85,080 jobs, median $45,920); production (60,110 jobs, median $48,440). The area is most specialised in production (1.6 times) and transportation and material moving (1.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($105,630) and computer and mathematical ($86,670). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Jefferson County was 4.6%. 65.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Jefferson County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 72.3% drive alone, 1.8% use public transit, 2.0% walk, 13.3% work from home. 6.8% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 46% below the state average (6.8% against 12.5%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
33.8% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 23% above the state share (33.8% against 27.6%). 10.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 123% above the state share (10.4% against 4.7%). The poverty rate is 15.8%, about the same as the state rate (15.8% against 16.1%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 77°F (24.9°C), and the coolest is Jan at 32°F (0.0°C). About 1,305 mm (51 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (138 mm) and Jan the driest (86 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Jeffersontown (5 miles, rent 18% higher); St. Matthews (6 miles, rent 22% higher); Lyndon (7 miles, rent 11% higher); Hillview (8 miles, rent 18% higher). Rent differences are against Louisville; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
