Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area.

The typical owner-occupied home in Stapleton CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Stapleton CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
