Eaton town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Eaton town is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 5,832 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #107 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Eaton town earn a median of $106,146 a year, 35.2% 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 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eaton town is valued at $448,800, 47.9% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,710 a month, 21.6% above the national figure, or roughly $20,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 93.7% 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.
