Living in Ekron



Ekron is a tiny city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 170 people and two associated neighborhoods, Ekron is the 391st largest community in Kentucky. Much of the housing stock in Ekron was built relatively recently.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.00% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

For example, Ekron has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Ekron a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
