McCracken lands in the national county income distribution as above-median household income on smaller county footing (FIPS 21145, 4 ZIPs, combined population 66,610). 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 (42003) as the primary ACS record and this county page as the FIPS bridge. Intra-county contrast is limited by construction.

Population clears twenty-five thousand even with few ZIPs - density can still swing hard inside the short list. Compare the top two rows by population before treating FIPS 21145 averages as uniform.

Within Kentucky, Henry is the closest lower-income county and Hardin the closest higher-income county by average ZIP household income. Their 9 and 11 ZIP footprints are the immediate statewide comparison set for McCracken. Use those locations as statewide context before treating the county average as a local-market answer.
