Deer Trail town, CO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Deer Trail town is a small town in Colorado, with 1,180 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #207 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 30.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Deer Trail town earn a median of $76,250 a year, 2.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. 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 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Deer Trail town is valued at $374,100, 23.3% above the national figure and 18% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.8% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 85.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
