Dove Valley, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Dove Valley CDP is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 5,313 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #111 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 32 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Dove Valley CDP earn a median of $85,772 a year, 9.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 13.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dove Valley CDP is valued at $425,900, 40.4% above the national figure and 6% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,892 a month, 34.6% above the national figure, or roughly $22,704 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 33.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
