There are a number of party hot spots in Kentucky.
For example, Murray, Kentucky has been called one of the biggest party towns in the nation. And you can see why. It has many college kids, a very young population, and frankly, there’s a huge bar scene.
But is it the best city to score in? The purpose of this post is to use Saturday Night Science and data to determine which places are the easiest you could go in Kentucky if you wanted to hook up with someone.
After analyzing 43 of the state’s most populous areas (over 10,000 people), we came up with this list as the ten easiest places to get laid in the state of Kentucky.
Don’t freak out.

Well if you live in Newport, you’re probably already aware of the pure excitement level, based on the criteria we list below. And if you’re not already regularly hooking up there. Well, then there’s nothing we can do about that.
Read on below to see how we crunched the numbers and see how the places in Kentucky near you fared. We’ve got the complete list of the most populous cities below so you know where to go and where to avoid on your next road trip.
The hardest place to get lucky in Kentucky, according to science? That would be Mount Washington. More on that later.

Methodology: How we crunched the numbers for getting laid in the Bluegrass State
We know we are answering a bar topic with this one, but that’s exactly why we use Saturday Night Science.
To rank the chances where you’re most likely to get laid in Kentucky, we had to determine what criteria help people hook up. It isn’t a stretch to assume that people will get frisky with plenty of young singles, areas where people aren’t married and have kids, and areas with lots of adult things to do.
With that in mind, we used the most recent 2018-2022 American Community Survey Census data produced for the state of Kentucky. And we paired it up with data from OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 and colleges from IPEDS.
Can’t really get any better data than that.
We paid particular attention to:
- Population density
- % of population that’s female (More females than males)
- % of unmarried people in each city
- % of households with kids in each city
- Colleges per capita
- Bars per capita
We then gave each city a “Chance To Get Laid Score.”
The higher the score, the better the city is for getting lucky. We also limited our results to cities with over 10,000 people. For Kentucky, that meant a total of 43 cities.
This article is based on facts and is meant as infotainment. We updated this article for 2024, and it’s our tenth time ranking the easiest cities to get laid in Kentucky.

Hi,
Good list! I lived in lex KY for many years as a shorter guy that was far from rich, and with avg looks. Though, I had no trouble getting my fun when needed due to UK university + all the bars around around town.
I ventured to some of the other areas u mentioned and often barely escaped with my life, or a good rumble. There were way—- too many good ole boys in their pickups looking to start trouble with anyone viewed as a threat.
Meaning.:If..you dont chew, hunt, dress like a slob and get drunk, you’re an outsider or threat to them. The women? Yikes…hit and miss. I recall many country girls that seem to know little about basic cleanliness where it matters. Some even based your worth on whether you were a Chevy or ford man lol! Some even viewed u as being gay if you dressed beyond jeans and a dirty, wrinkled flannel shirt! They also seem really into the bubba, pickup driving , good ole boy with the rifle hanging in the back of his truck, or fresh deer kill!
So, I sometimes ventured to Louisville which seemed a bit more classy & civilized like lex . But, competition is tough, and you still can’t escape the flying high, half drunk and rowdy (bubba types) in pickup trucks that will sometimes hassle their competition. Many come from london, Somerset etc. But, you do see more of those squeeky clean, blue eyed blonde (princess types) that are extremely picky. The trophy girls that actually have glass! I never landed one of those, but..found my share of nice, divorced ladies, or..younger , fun types in their 20’s/30’s +.
Regards,
Jon
