Manzanola town, CO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Manzanola town is a very small community in Colorado, with 382 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #319 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 43.1 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 Manzanola town earn a median of $29,457 a year, 62.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 66% 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 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Manzanola town is valued at $113,100, 62.7% below the national figure and 75% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $721 a month, 48.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,652 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.4% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.2% 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.
