Rangely town, CO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rangely town is a small town in Colorado, with 2,572 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #158 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 36.6 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 Rangely town earn a median of $75,044 a year, 4.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rangely town is valued at $192,200, 36.7% below the national figure and 58% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $774 a month, 45% below the national figure, or roughly $9,288 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.4% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.1% 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.
