Breckenridge town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Breckenridge town is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 5,001 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #117 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Breckenridge town earn a median of $132,666 a year, 68.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 53% above the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. 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.

A household on the local median income would put about 13% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 73.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
