Georgetown is a medium-sized city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 38,780 people and 17 associated neighborhoods, Georgetown is the fifth largest community in Kentucky. Much of the housing stock in Georgetown was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Georgetown economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Georgetown, where the median household income is $74,530.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.42% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Georgetown is a decent-sized city, yet no one gets to work using public transit, because the city has no real transit system.
