Location of the London MSA

The London, Kentucky micropolitan area is made up of three counties in the Eastern Coalfield region of Kentucky. Before 2013, the area was officially known as the Corbin-London, KY Combined Statistical Area, and consisted of the Corbin Micropolitan Statistical Area and the London Micropolitan Statistical Area. The Corbin micropolitan area consisted of Whitley County, and the London micropolitan area consisted of Laurel County.

In 2013, the United States Census Bureau folded the CSA into the redefined London micropolitan area, and Knox County was added to the statistical area. This incidentally ended a statistical anomaly that excluded the 20% of the population of Corbin living in Knox County from the statistical area.

As of 2019, the London micropolitan area had a population of 128,215.

The total population of the London, KY MISA changed from 126,565 in 2010 to 128,215 in 2018, a change of 1,650 (1.3%). Among all metros nationwide, London, KY MISA ranked 386th in 2018, based on total population.
