Warren County, Kentucky

What farmland and houses are worth here, from the public figures, and where to look next.

Farmland and its buildings in Warren County averaged $5,899 an acre in the 2022 Census of Agriculture: the 100th cheapest of the 120 counties in Kentucky, 20% above the Kentucky average in the same census ($4,929).

In the 2017 census it was $5,334 an acre, so the average has risen 11% in five years.

Warren County in figures
Farmland and buildings, an acre, 2022 $5,899
The same, 2017 $5,334 +11%
Farms counted, 2022 1,530 (1,755 in 2017)
Average farm 154 acres
Share of the county that is farmland 67.8%
Median value of an owner-occupied home $258,000 ± $8,319

The farm figure is land and buildings together, averaged over every farm in the county, from the largest ranch to the smallest holding. It is for comparing one county with another, not a price for any parcel: a few acres with road frontage usually costs more an acre than the average, not less.

Living here: tax, internet and hazards

Homeowners in Warren County paid a median $1,668 a year in property tax, about 0.6% of the median home value. What a particular parcel pays depends on its exemptions and on whether it is taxed as farmland: see how Kentucky taxes farmland, and ask the county assessor what the parcel paid last year.

75% of the 55,643 households here pay for cable, fiber or DSL internet. That is what people subscribe to, not what reaches a given road: the FCC's broadband map shows what is offered at an address, and it is worth checking before you count on working from home.

FEMA National Risk Index ratings for Warren County
HazardFEMA risk rating
Inland flooding Relatively Moderate
Coastal flooding Does not occur here
Wildfire Very Low
Tornado Relatively High
Hail Very High
Drought Relatively Low
Hurricane Very Low

FEMA rates tornado and hail as a relatively high risk or worse here. Its ratings compare counties across the country and weigh how much property there is to lose, so a thinly settled county can rate low even where the hazard itself is common. For a particular parcel, look it up on FEMA's flood maps before you buy.
