Eagle, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Eagle town is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 7,479 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #93 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 36 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 Eagle town earn a median of $103,850 a year, 32.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 20% above 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 7.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eagle town is valued at $693,600, 128.6% above the national figure and 53% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,706 a month, 21.3% above the national figure, or roughly $20,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.7% 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 6.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 68.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

Home values sit at 6.7× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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.
