Louisville, KY-IN HUD Metro FMR Area

Brooks, Kentucky has about 2,069 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $227,600.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Bullitt County is $1,276 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Brooks. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

In the Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN metro area, prices sit at 93.1 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.

Kentucky taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 6.0% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Brooks's exact store tax.

Some places in Kentucky add a local wage tax. In 2023 the state average was about 0.93% of income. That is not a Brooks bill.

In July 2026, a typical Kentucky home paid 13.81¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Brooks's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Kentucky in the table we use.
