Ovid town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ovid town is a very small community in Colorado, with 378 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #320 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 39.7 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 Ovid town earn a median of $40,000 a year, 49.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 54% below the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ovid town is valued at $98,600, 67.5% below the national figure and 78% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $697 a month, 50.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 378 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Ovid town against its county rather than against national figures.
