Kentucky’s population has grown every decade since recordkeeping began. The state’s estimated population is currently over 4 million. If you are looking for Kentucky commercial real estate listings, a large percentage of them are based in Louisville, which was estimated at 566,503 at the 2010 Census. The next largest city, Lexington, has a population of 295,803 and also offers retail space and investment property. Lexington includes the areas of Frankfort and Richmond.

Kentucky is well-known for good farming conditions, and, as a result, a large part of its economy is based on agriculture. The state is particularly known for its goat farming, cattle production and corn production, and commercial rural land is dedicated to these pursuits.

Industrial space is dedicated to economic endeavors outside of farming including manufacturing autos, producing energy and medical facilities. The state ranks 4th in production of automobiles and trucks.

Although Louisville and Lexington are the most populated areas, Kentucky commercial real estate listings are located throughout the state. It is important to note, however, that small businesses are quite prevalent in Kentucky. More than 90% of companies have fewer than 50 employees.
