Welcome to Central Kentucky’s Annual Lexington Families Guide

A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHERS

Lexington is a thriving university town blessed with all the amenities that make it a sought after destination for every demographic from students to families to senior living.

In 2021, SmartAsset analyzed 100 of the biggest cities in the country to find “the best cities for work-life balance for 2021,” and Lexington ranked 10.

With an abundance of colleges and universities in the area, it’s not surprising that Lexington has one of the “Most Educated Workforces” in America. According to U.S. Census data, Lexington ranks twelfth in the country in number of people with a bachelor’s degree, and sixth in the nation in total number of people who have attained an advanced degree.

Lexington’s major employers include the University of Kentucky, state and local government, a thriving public school system, our Veterans Medical system, Lexington Clinic, LexMark, Amazon, and many more.

Lexington also ranks number 5 as one of the most affordable cities for an early retirement and at number 10 for best cities for young professionals (Smart Asset).
