The smallest gain in population of incorporated towns and cities, among
both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan economic areas, durinn the 50-year
period was made by Economic Area 6 (Outer Bluegrass Area).
According to Table 2, only 9 of the lQ8 incorporated towns and
cities, having a population of 1,000 or more in 1950, gained as much as
10,000 in population during the half-century. Louisville, as is to be
expected, led in this respect with a gain of l6U,000. Lexington was next
with a 29,000 gain, and Ashland, Covington, and Owensboro followed with
gains of more than 20,000. Paducah had a gain of 13,000 and Jowlin; `
Green, Middlesborough, and Fort Thomas gained a little more than 10,000
h during the period. Six of the lhd places had slight losses between 1900
and 1950.
1 There were 15 cities in Kentucky in 1950 with a population of
more than 10,000 (Table 3). Their total population at that time amounted
V to 72U,1M7, which represented 65 percent of the total population of all
I incorporated places of 1,000 or over. Fourteen of these 15 cities, all
except Fort Thomas, were incorporated prior to 1900. In 1900 the lb
cities (excluding Fort Thomas) had a total population of 389,Qd2, which
- was 70 percent of the total population of all incorporated towns and
cities with a population of 1,000 or more. This indicates that a larger
proportion of the population in towns and cities was concentrated in the
major cities in 1900 than in 1950.
Louisville and Lexington are the only two cities for which
census data·are available for l790. It is interesting to note coat
_ Lexington was larger than Louisville until the 1030 census. From ;n;t
