A recently-released study conducted by BusinessWeek magazine has name Wilmore, KY the "Most Affordable Suburb" in Kentucky. The study selected one suburb in each state where residents can find" the best quality of life for their money" in 2009."

Popular with residents because of its low crime rate and moderate pace of life, Wilmore, located in Jessamine County, has a strong Christian influence due to the two major institutions of higher learning located there: Asbury College (a private, Christian college) and Asbury Theological Seminary.

Businessweek was looking for small cities with populations of 5,000 - 60,000 people; median family incomes of $51,000 - $120,000, and low crime rates. Wilmore boasts a population of just under 6,000 and a median income as $41,512, the lowest among the 50 states reported by the magazine. The 2000 census lists the median value of owner-occupied houses in Wilmore as $104,000.

Other factors also played a role in the selection, including livability (short commutes, greenspace, low pollution), education (high test scores, well-educated residents) ... and overall affordability (median household income, cost of living.
