Platteville town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Platteville town is a small town in Colorado, with 2,924 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #148 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 34 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Platteville town earn a median of $87,642 a year, 11.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 8.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Platteville town is valued at $376,600, 24.1% above the national figure and 17% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,669 a month, 18.7% above the national figure, or roughly $20,028 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88.4% 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.

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.
