What it’s like
The place. Fox Chase is a very small city in Bullitt County, with far fewer residents than most towns and a population that skews older than the country as a whole. Homes here are valued well above what is typical for the region, and relatively few people live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and some snow each year, while summers turn hot by July and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, transport and warehousing, and retail. Across Bullitt County, the largest workplaces include Amazon, Bullitt County Schools and Fortna, which installs and builds conveyor systems. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than across the country, and the typical commute is a moderate one, with some people working from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Bernheim Forest and Arboretum, a botanical garden, is a short drive away, as are Iroquois Park and Jefferson Memorial Forest, a large park. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Louisville Zoo and the Speed Art Museum.
