Yeah, it's been touched on already, but the sheer proximity of both Lexington and Louisville to Frankfort likely has a huge impact. It's 75 miles from downtown Louisville to downtown Lexington. From Frankfort, you can be in Lexington in ~30 minutes and Louisville in an hour. In some ways, it reminds me of my own city being within the 100-mile stretch between Chattanooga and Atlanta but sitting very close to one end (Chatt). Plenty of people will simply choose to drive in rather than live there.
Furthermore, there are multiple similarly-sized areas that straddle in between Frankfort-Lexington and Frankfort-Louisville which give those who want to be in relatively more rural areas and have reasonable access to both Frankfort and the city of their choice simple enough. The four areas circled have a combined municipal population of more than 3x that of Frankfort.
