What this means for LTR investors
Gross yield of 7.46% is solid - above the 7% threshold most LTR investors target.
Rent grew 4.7% YoY while values moved 4.3%. That gap drives whether yield compresses or expands over time.
Renter share is 32% - a deep renter pool means lower vacancy risk in Kentucky.
Median income of $60,183 sets the affordability ceiling on rent growth.
