Hotchkiss town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hotchkiss town is a small town in Colorado, with 1,147 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #211 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 43.2 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 Hotchkiss town earn a median of $58,125 a year, 26% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below 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 15.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hotchkiss town is valued at $265,500, 12.5% below the national figure and 41% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,147 a month, 18.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,764 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
