The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole.

This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Broomfield city is valued at $631,600, 108.2% above the national figure and 39% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,074 a month, 47.5% above the national figure, or roughly $24,888 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
