Kenton County
Where Fort Mitchell sits
Fort Mitchell is in Kenton County, and the census counts 8,713 people here, at 2,813 per square mile, with a median age of 36.4 years.
What we know about Fort Mitchell is what the census records and what Kentucky law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
Kentucky weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. What Kentucky records here are the conditional limits — what a road, a permit or a commodity allows — rather than one figure covering every truck.
In Kentucky the extended Weight Coal Haul Road System (EWCHRS) is 90,000 lb on one steering axle + two tandem axles, plus a 5% tolerance (KRS 177.9771 (est. 1986)).
In Kentucky the bulk-commodity axle tolerance is 10% of the axle weight provisions, except on the interstate system (KRS 189.222(1)(c)).
So what leaves Fort Mitchell
That rule meets 8,713 people in Fort Mitchell, Kenton County, at a household median around $86,310 and a density of 2,813 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
