Paris is a somewhat small city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 10,075 people and six associated neighborhoods, Paris is the 42nd largest community in Kentucky.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.71% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

As is often the case in a small city, Paris doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The education level of Paris citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 20.52% of adults 25 and older in Paris have a college degree.

The per capita income in Paris in 2022 was $25,222, which is middle income relative to Kentucky, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $100,888 for a family of four. However, Paris contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
