Lakeside, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Lakeside town is a very small community in Colorado, with 8 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #467 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 3% of them. The median age here is 73 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Lakeside town earn a median of not published a year. 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 25% 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 Lakeside town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $667 a month, 52.6% below the national figure, or roughly $8,004 across a full year. 25% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 73 puts Lakeside town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 8 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lakeside town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value for Lakeside 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.
