Commerce City, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Commerce City city is a small city in Colorado, with 64,640 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 33.9 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 Commerce City city earn a median of $106,756 a year, 35.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above 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 9.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Commerce City city is valued at $463,200, 52.7% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,626 a month, 15.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,512 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78% 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.
