Madison County, KY Intelligence

Madison County is Kentucky's seventh-largest and one of the fastest-growing in the Bluegrass. Richmond is a two-college town — Eastern Kentucky University (about 16,000 students) and, in the northern half, Berea College — so the rental market runs on a student cycle that's rare outside Lexington and Louisville. Fort Boonesboro anchors the tourism side. The docket is active enough that Facebook is often faster than kypublicnotice.com for Master Commissioner postings, and auction firms cover the county well.
