COMMON QUESTIONS

Kentucky county map questions.

Is Louisville a separate county shape?

The county layer uses Jefferson County, GEOID 21111. Check your source when it uses Louisville or Louisville Metro as the geography.

What Census ID covers Fayette County?

Use 21067 for Fayette County. A tabulation for a Lexington neighborhood is more detailed than this map.

Can I map Northern Kentucky without adding Ohio counties?

Yes. Shade Boone, Kenton or Campbell separately in the Kentucky editor. Use the national county editor for cross-state comparisons.

How can I compare Appalachian counties?

Join values by county GEOID and document the counties used in your comparison. The map does not identify a separate Appalachian region.

Which period is used for household income?

The ACS pools survey responses across 2020–2024 and adjusts values to 2024 dollars. Use its margins of error for close comparisons.

Can I export thin county boundaries at higher resolution?

Use the complete PNG download or the editor’s high-resolution export. The on-page WebP is sized for browser viewing.
