Kersey town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kersey town is a small town in Colorado, with 1,318 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #201 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 40.5 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 Kersey town earn a median of $61,136 a year, 22.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% below 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 15.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kersey town is valued at $317,900, 4.8% above the national figure and 30% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $923 a month, 34.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,076 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
