Cherry Creek CDP, CO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cherry Creek CDP is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 11,011 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #64 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 42.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Cherry Creek CDP earn a median of $147,618 a year, 88% above the national figure of $78,538 and 71% above the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cherry Creek CDP is valued at $856,800, 182.4% above the national figure and 89% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,974 a month, 40.4% above the national figure, or roughly $23,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 5.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.3% 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.
