Starkville, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Starkville town is a very small community in Colorado, with 94 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #416 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 58.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Starkville town earn a median of $52,500 a year, 33.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Starkville town is valued at $87,000, 71.3% below the national figure and 81% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $972 a month, 30.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,664 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% 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 1.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 62.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

A median age of 58.6 puts Starkville town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 94 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Starkville town against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
