Firestone town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Firestone town is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 17,353 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #46 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 35.6 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 Firestone town earn a median of $114,591 a year, 45.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Firestone town is valued at $511,800, 68.7% above the national figure and 13% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,916 a month, 36.3% above the national figure, or roughly $22,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 80.3% 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. 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.

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.
