Morrison, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Morrison town is a very small community in Colorado, with 415 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #307 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 58 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 Morrison town earn a median of $116,667 a year, 48.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 35% above 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 2.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Morrison town is valued at $739,900, 143.9% above the national figure and 63% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,724 a month, 22.6% above the national figure, or roughly $20,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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 6.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 71.3% 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.

Home values sit at 6.3× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. A median age of 58 puts Morrison 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.

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.
