Sherrelwood, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Sherrelwood CDP is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 19,368 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #41 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 32.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Sherrelwood CDP earn a median of $73,849 a year, 6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below 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 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sherrelwood CDP is valued at $412,200, 35.9% above the national figure and 9% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,627 a month, 15.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,524 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.4% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
