Park Center CDP, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Park Center CDP is a small town in Colorado, with 2,544 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #159 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 43.5 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 Park Center CDP earn a median of $68,882 a year, 12.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Park Center CDP is valued at $337,800, 11.3% above the national figure and 26% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,242 a month, 11.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,904 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.
