Hooper, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Hooper town is a very small community in Colorado, with 168 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #381 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 18.9 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 Hooper town earn a median of $44,844 a year, 42.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 48% below the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 19% 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 Hooper town is valued at $159,400, 47.5% below the national figure and 65% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 18.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 168 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Hooper town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Hooper town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
