Military-Related Data for Kentucky Counties

Those who serve in the military and their families, as well as veterans, can be found in nearly every county in the state. Three issues of Kentucky: By The Numbers have been created to help support the Kentucky Extension Military Collaborative. Combining data from multiple sources, these profiles provide data for each county and the state as a whole for 3 different topics: 1) Veterans Across Kentucky; 2) Active Duty Military, Reserves, and Families; and 3) Military-Connected Youth.

Active Duty, Reserves, and Families

Those serving in Active Duty, Reserve or National Guard can be found in nearly every Ky. county.

Military-Connected Youth

Youth with a family member who is Active Duty, Reserve or National Guard face unique challenges such as family separation and relocation.

Veterans Across Kentucky

The 2023 American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2019-2023) that there were 235,118 (+/- 3,869) veterans in Kentucky.
