Kentucky owners and new arrivals since 2020
About one Kentucky owner household in seven moved in during 2020 or later: 179,225 of them, according to table B25038 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). The table's newest bins are 2020 to 2022 and 2023 or later, which together give that total.
A new owner frequently wants to change the floors that came with the house, often before the furniture is in place, so some buyers ask the form to record when the household moved in. The count above is of households; it is not a count of quote requests.
Kentucky has 1,239,908 owner-occupied units out of 1,814,469 occupied units in table B25003 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). Because only an owner can authorize new floors, a homeowner question is the standard first screen.
Kentucky home values and when its housing went up
The 1970s are the largest building decade in Kentucky, with 315,569 of today's housing units, just ahead of the 1990s at 310,327, per table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). The state also keeps 181,655 units built in 1939 or earlier.
The median owner-occupied home is valued at $205,600 in table B25077 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024), the fifth lowest of the 50 states in that release. The table below groups the oldest two bands together.

Kentucky rules that touch flooring work
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Flooring jobs paid from a homeowner's insurance claim follow KRS 367.620 to 367.628. The definitions in KRS 367.620 (effective July 15, 2026) cover contracts for the repair, replacement or improvement of real estate where payment is expected from property or casualty insurance proceeds. Before signing, KRS 367.624 (effective July 15, 2026) requires the contractor to give a notice that the homeowner may cancel before midnight of the fifth business day after the insurer says in writing that the work is not a covered loss, with a detachable cancellation form.
Suppliers and subcontractors face a notice deadline on owner-occupied homes. Under KRS 376.010(5) (effective June 29, 2023), a person who did not contract directly with the owner gains no lien on an owner-occupied single or double family dwelling unless written notice reaches the owner within 75 days after the last labor or material was furnished.
The state building agency, the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction, lists plumbers, electricians, boiler contractors, sprinkler and fire alarm contractors and building inspectors as the trades it licenses or certifies; flooring installation is not among them. The home solicitation cancellation rule is on leads in Kentucky.
