Burlington city, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Burlington city is a small town in Colorado, with 3,165 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #141 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 38.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Burlington city earn a median of $59,842 a year, 23.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% below 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 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
