Elizabeth, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Elizabeth town is a small town in Colorado, with 1,694 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #186 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 32.5 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 Elizabeth town earn a median of $110,227 a year, 40.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Elizabeth town is valued at $444,000, 46.3% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,526 a month, 8.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,312 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
