Average rent in Kentucky
The median asking rent in Kentucky is $1,655 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.
Against an average home value of $227,048, that rent level prices Kentucky at a 8.68% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Kentucky markets.
