What it’s like
The place. Millersburg is a very small city in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and its size shapes daily life: people tend to know one another, and the pace is quiet. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents of Millersburg work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and farming also well represented. Across Bourbon County, some of the largest workplaces are Bourbon County Schools, Walmart and Bourbon Heights, a skilled nursing facility. Relatively few adults hold a four-year degree, and a typical commute is a moderate one, with very few people working from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Daniel Boone Cabin is a museum, and Lake Carnico and Stoner Creek offer water for a quiet afternoon outdoors. For a longer drive, the Kentucky Horse Park is a protected area that is the best known of the nearby places.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Millersburg’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Bourbon County and the Lexington-Fayette, KY metro.
