Married Couple (% of all Households) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Kentucky

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in northern Kentucky along the Ohio River border and in the outer suburban rings of Louisville and Lexington consistently display married-couple household rates above 60%, with several exceeding 70%, reflecting the prevalence of family-oriented suburban communities. In contrast, urban cores—particularly areas corresponding to downtown Louisville, Lexington, and smaller regional centers like Bowling Green and Ashland—register notably lower rates in the 20–35% range, appearing as dark purple clusters. The southeastern Appalachian region exhibits considerable variability, with pockets of very low married-couple percentages interspersed among moderate-rate zip codes, suggesting localized demographic and economic factors driving household composition differences.
