What it’s like

The place. Shepherdsville is a Kentucky city that is younger than most, with a good many families and a median age that sits on the youthful side. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though renting is common too, and household incomes run below the county's overall. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.

Work. Many residents work in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Shepherdsville are Bullitt County Schools, Amazon's warehousing operation and Magna LVSS, which makes vehicle seating and interior trim. Unemployment in Bullitt County has edged up a little over the past year, and the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier. A typical commute is moderate, and a small group of residents work from home.

Things to do. Fort DeWolf and Floyds Fork are in or beside town, one a fort and the other a river. A short drive away is Bernheim Forest and Arboretum, a botanical garden. A longer drive leads to Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park, a protected area marking the president's early years.
