Akron town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Akron town is a small town in Colorado, with 1,681 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #187 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 44.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Akron town earn a median of $59,470 a year, 24.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% below the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Akron town is valued at $186,500, 38.5% below the national figure and 59% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,070 a month, 23.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
