Bluegrass residents enjoy a cost of living that is consistently below the national average in almost all major categories.The figures below are from the ACCRA Cost of Living Survey (2015 Annual Averages).

ABOUT THE INDEX: The ACCRA Cost of Living Index measures price levels for consumer goods and services in participating areas. The average for all par-ticipating places, both metropolitan and non-metropolitan, equals 100 (i.e. the national average equals 100). Each participant’s index is read as a percentageof the average for all places. The index does NOT measure inflation. The index reflects cost differences for a mid-management standard of living, and actualcost of living differences can change based on your residential location. Because the number of items priced is limited, it is not valid to treat percentage dif-ferences between areas as exact measures. The index does NOT take taxes into consideration.

By The Numbers: What to Expect

Higher EducationThe abundance of higher education institutions within the Blue-

grass Region brings an infusion of students each fall, and with itcomes big dreams and big ideas. The impact of which has pro-duced a very well educated workforce leading to the area’s diverseeconomy.

In fact, according U.S. Census Bureau data, Lexington is amongthe smartest cities in the nation. For cities with a population of250,000 or more, Lexington ranked 13th overall in percent of pop-ulation age 25 and older having earned a Bachelor’s degree orhigher. When considering those with advanced degrees (Master’s,professional or doctorate degree), Lexington also ranked 13thamong cities of comparable size. That educational attainmenttrend continues when you look at the entire Bluegrass Region, andthe reason is that the area is blessed with so many quality collegesand universities.

Anchored by the state’s flagship university, the University ofKentucky, the Bluegrass boasts 10 colleges and universities within40 miles of Lexington. In addition, Lexington has five other pro-fessional and technical colleges. In total, over 70,000 students areenrolled in institutions of higher learning in the Bluegrass, gradu-ating more than 12,000 annually.

The economic impact of many of these schools is huge, fromstudent enrollment to faculty to workers to the infusion of researchfunds. For instance, the University of Kentucky is Lexington’s topemployer, but when combining its students, faculty and staff, itwould also be considered Kentucky’s sixth-largest city and ninth-largest company in terms of total revenue.

No matter what your schedule, budget, or career choice, theBluegrass has a college or university to meet your needs. Contactone the institutions listed in this publication or visit them on-lineto learn more.

Getting AroundIt is often said that in business, location is everything. Lexington’seconomic success is due in large part to its prime location withinthe state of Kentucky, as well as the nation. Because the city sitsat the crossroads of two major Interstate highways, I-64 (East-West) and I-75 (North-South), both visitors and businesses haveeasy access to many other U.S. cities in the East, South, and Mid-west. In fact, Lexington is within a day’s drive of two-thirds of theUnited States’ population.

This accessibility makes the area a great spot for companies thatneed distribution capabilities, such as manufacturers and fulfill-ment corporations. Travelers can also navigate around the statewith ease using the Bluegrass Parkway (located near Versailles),which takes you to the western part of Kentucky, and the MountainParkway (starting near Winchester), which leads to eastern Ken-tucky.

Lexington also benefits from its close proximity to surroundingcommunities like Georgetown, Cynthiana, Paris, Midway, Rich-mond and Versailles (pronounced VER-SALES). In addition, thecity is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Cincinnati, Louisville,Nashville, Knoxville, and Charleston (WV).

For newcomers, getting around Lexington can be daunting attimes, but one of the best ways to remember where you need togo is to envision the hands of a clock, with the following numbersrepresenting main roads in Lexington: 1:00 – Newtown Pike; 2:00– North Broadway/Paris Pike; 3:00 – Winchester Road; 5:00 – Rich-mond Road; 7:00 – Nicholasville Road; 8:00 – SouthBroadway/Harrodsburg Road; 9:00 – Versailles Road; and 10:00 –West Main Street/Leestown Road.

The outside of the clock is represented by New Circle Road, a 26-mile stretch, which encircles the city. Just below the southern partof New Circle Road lies Man O’ War Boulevard, which extends for16 miles from Interstate-75 (Exit 108) near the Hamburg Pavilionto Versailles Road near Blue Grass Airport and the entrance toKeeneland Race Course.

Bicycling in the BluegrassOver the years, bicycling has become a popular mode of trans-portation in Lexington, and the local government has made greatstrides to keep bicyclists safe as they share the roads with auto-mobiles. Lexington continues to invest in new and better markedbike lanes, as well as the development of more shared use trails.A project called the Town Branch Commons once completedwould connect Lexington’s two major trails, the Legacy Trail andTown Branch Trail, creating 22 miles of uninterrupted trail. Tolearn about safe bike riding, bike parking, or to find out about the“bikeability” of Lexington, visit www.lexingtonky.gov/index.aspx?page=262.

Business & IndustryThe region serves as a health care, retail, and cul-tural center for both Central and Eastern Kentucky.Whether you’re seeking employment or looking tostart a business, Lexington is among the top citiesin the nation for entrepreneurs. Lexington was re-cently named among the Top 25 High-TechHotspots by The Atlantic Cities (#17), and amongthe Best Mid-Sized Cities for Jobs by Forbes (#7).

Lexington is in the middle of everything! Not onlyis Lexington 600 miles from 50-percent of the U.S.population, it sits at the crossroads of two major in-terstates, I-75 and I-64, giving companies here directaccess to both north-south and east-west routes.

Lexington and the surrounding area’s robust econ-omy are due in large part to its diversification of em-ployment opportunities. No single employmentsector comprises more than 17-percent of the laborforce in the metro area. Employment is dispersedamong government, education and healthcare, re-tail trade, manufacturing, professional and businessservices, and construction. As a result of these di-verse opportunities, Lexington’s unemploymentrate is typically lower than the rest of the state andnation.

The University of Kentucky, Toyota Motor Manufac-turing, Fayette County Public Schools, and EasternKentucky University are among the major employerswithin the Lexington MSA. Citizens also enjoystrong employment opportunities in equine relatedbusinesses, health care, retail and services. Principalmanufactured products include automobiles, auto-mobile parts, peanut butter, cutting tools, heatingand air conditioning equipment, paper cups andproducts, software, sunroofs, and military equip-ment.

Because of its relatively low utility costs, Lexingtonhas remained a very affordable place to do business.This was certainly a contributing factor when the citywas named to KPMG’s list of the cities with the low-est international business costs in the U.S. andCanada.

With an abundance of colleges and universities inthe area, it’s not surprising that Lexington has oneof the “Most Educated Workforces” in America. Ac-cording to U.S. Census data, Lexington ranks 13thin the country in number of people with a bachelor’sdegree, and also 13th in the nation in total numberof people who have attained an advanced degree.
