Calhan town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Calhan town is a very small community in Colorado, with 510 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #287 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Calhan town earn a median of $50,000 a year, 36.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Calhan town is valued at $265,000, 12.7% below the national figure and 42% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $935 a month, 33.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.9% 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.
