Granada town, CO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Granada town is a very small community in Colorado, with 492 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #292 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 42.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Granada town earn a median of $46,685 a year, 40.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 46% below 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 18.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Granada town is valued at $100,000, 67% below the national figure and 78% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $713 a month, 49.3% below the national figure, or roughly $8,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 67.8% 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.
With 492 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Granada town against its county rather than against national figures.
