Larue lands in the national county income distribution as above-median household income on sparsely populated county footing (FIPS 21123, 2 ZIPs, combined population 10,288). On this short ZIP list the county page is mainly the FIPS bridge - household ACS fields live on the primary ZIP.

Above-median income with few ZIPs: treat the top code (42748) as the primary ACS record and this county page as the FIPS bridge. Intra-county contrast is limited by construction.

Population sits in the five-to-twenty-five thousand band with few ZIPs - still ZIP-first for household fields, but the county seat ZIP (usually the densest row) is worth a second glance before the FIPS overlays.

Within Kentucky, Meade is the closest lower-income county and Bracken the closest higher-income county by average ZIP household income. Their 7 and 4 ZIP footprints are the immediate statewide comparison set for Larue. Use those locations as statewide context before treating the county average as a local-market answer.
